QRZ subscription value?

 

I'm getting back into the hobby and am interested in DXing.? I currently have little interest in QRZ awards.? I'm guessing that QRZ will help with information useful when seeking QSL cards from ops who don't use LotW.? LotW is my primary QSL route.? More than 10 years ago I sought paper QSL cards and expect to do so now for needed QSLs.? I just received a WAZ award due to my old QSL card collection and LotW.

Is QRZ relevant today and is there an advantage to buying a Premium subscription to avoid ads?? I'm considering getting a subscription and API to use in DXKeeper/DXLab.

Thanks for your insight and experience.

Re: Invalid administrative subdivision errors

 

Dave, sorry, but I'm getting a DXKeeper text note error box that says, "This QSO has not been unlocked for Modification: perform a callbook lookup?"

+ OK, then direct DXKeeper to delete all the QSOs in your current log: on the Main window's Log QSOs tab,

1. at the bottom of the tab, click the Filter panel's X button so that all QSOs are present the Log Page Display
? * Done.

2. depress the CTRL button while clicking the CBA button above the Log Page Display
? *??error box says, "This QSO has not been unlocked for Modification: perform a callbook lookup?"? Yes/ No?

I assumed I should have deleted the contents of my log.? I see that one callsign entry is highlighted in pink.? If I choose No, nothing happens other than the text box closes.? If Yes, then I get a DXKeeper QRZ Subscriber login text box that says "No QRZ callsign specified.? I do not currently subscribe to QRZ. On closing this text box a new DXKeeper text box states, "Callbook error when looking up VU2ELJ: Program Error."

How do I cure this and?delete?the old log?

Since I'm not very far into it, starting over seemed like a good idea and might be good.? That QSO was one of my first and I sure could have made errors in the contest log that I uploaded to L32.? I could well be user errors.? I made another contact in that same contest on a different band with KR1STA and there were no errors in that part of the upload.

I don't understand why I could not import the ADIF Master "one contact" log.? Again, I'm trying to understand what I did wrong at this point.? Seemed like a no-brainer.

I'm getting a QRZ warning and need to step through the import process.? I was going to read the manual to find how/where I fix the QRZ issue.? A point to the right reading would be helpful.? I'm guessing I need to input my QRZ PW or something into DXLAb somewhere.

New user here.

+ Welcome to DXLab, Roland!

Was able to install DXLab applications and had no problem connecting Commander to the Flex 6400, by specifying the IP and Port address. Upgraded to the new Commander today and I have lost the connection.
Followed documentation to run older exe file to no avail.

+ What happen when you run the previous version of Commander?

If I go to ports and select a port with 19200 - 8,none,2,off,on, nothing connects.

I am running Windows 11 and did not upgrade. Failed to do a restore point before upgrade of Commander.
I am at a lost! Any ideals what I can try.

+ Commander 16.0.3 successfully connects to my Flex 6500 via TCP. So that I can see what's going on, please do the following:

1. start Commander

2. on the Configuration window's General tab, check the "Log debugging info" box

3. terminate Commander

4. start Commander

5. wait 1 minute

Re: Invalid administrative subdivision errors

 

If you've already imported the log, make the change in
DXKeeper's Log QSOs tab. Select the QSO and make the
change to either: Code (set to 110), DXCC (set to KH6)
or Entity (set to Hawaii). It could not be more simple.

Agree with all Joe. ?I was just alerting folks that they might want to check LOTW online to get the latest date if it is a station they are interested in. ?Ordinarily I would disregard this station based on the 2023 last upload date shown in DXView or JTAlert. ?Also these would never show up as an LOTW call in SpotCollector unless someone is using a long time frame to determine active LOTW stations.

if he is using Adif Master, that is much better then just a text editor for most.
its quite easy to edit a text file and miss the character count, which will cause errors.
