Re: Problem with Broke Tab List

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

I figured that out and changed the country to fix the broken Qs for KH6 call signs.?

?

Now I see that there are many others where there is no clear indication why they are “broken.”? Nothing is flashing.? Are they broken if the county does not match the ARRL section??

+ Yes, an ARRL section that is inconsistent with its QSO's State and County will result in a QSO being considered Broken.

+ To get a full report of all broken QSOs, click the Recompute button along the bottom of the Main window's "Check Progress" tab. To enable DXKeeper to correct primary subdivisions, secondary subdivisions, and ARRL sections where it has the information to do so, depress the ALT key while clicking the Recompute button,

Interestingly, I see that when I uploaded the NC QSO Party Qs from this past weekend the county was not uploaded to DXKeeper.? Has that changed recently?

+ If county information was present in the CNTY fields of the ADIF records you imported, DXKeeper would have imported that information. Some contesting applications are notorious for not exporting exchange information in the appropriate ADIF field.? Check the ADIF file you imported.

That's a hard one from my QTH. Short path mostly across the north pole makes it tough.? I have worked them short path on 17 meters Superfox Hound mode. I think that was with 100 watts.? I see FT8 spots for them now on 10 meters, but I'm not hearing them short or long path.? Propview shows 15 meters is better long path this time of day.

They were loud on 12M CW (and 17M SSB) this morning (1300Z). He called for NA and worked NA but I heard a lot of EU calling on 12M CW. Several NA worked on 17M about the same time but not a restrictive CQ.? I see stations calling him many times but I don't hear him for some reason (SP or LP). I worked him on 12M SP this morning but he was only slightly loader SP than LP here.

Re: Spot Collector Spot Notes Mode Override

Now that WSJT-X has a new FT8 mode, SuperFox it might be useful if Spot Collector recognized SFH or S/FH or similar in a spot's notes as an FT8 mode to override the subband mode as it already does for FH, F/H and fox hound.
?
I have seen numerous spots of the current VK9XU dxpedition with "SFH" in spot notes with them operating outside the usual FT8 frequencies.
+ If the current version of SpotCollector encounters "FH", "F/H", or "FOX" in spot notes, it sets the Spot Database Entry's Mode to FT8.

You will have to do setup from scratch if you have no Workspace backup. If you have even an old Workspace backup you may be able to use it if a lot of settings you may never or seldom change anyway to save some time.

Re: DXKEEPER restore provisioning #technicalhelpquestion

 

Are you installing on a fresh copy of Windows (or a copy with
a fresh registry due to a Windows reset)?

If so, follow the recommendations here:
<>
to save your database and configuration files. Then do a
fresh install of DXLab Suite on the new PC and copy the
files saved from the old backup.

Unfortunately I don't have a latest & greatest registry backup from
DXLAB.
You will need to generate screen layouts, rig choices in Commander,
and other configuration items (e.g. Award objectives, etc.) from
scratch as those items are stored in the Registry.
