Hi,

The Intel UHD 730 chipset supports 4k resolution. (Max 4096x2160@60Hz).

Depending on the motherboard you might not need an additional graphics card.

I use a 32 inch 4K monitor.

Make sure it has all possible inputs: HDMI, Displayport and USB-C. Then you can use it for future computers.

# No. This has nothing to do with user-defined award progress reports.

# Here's the scenario:

1. You've used DXKeeper to generate a DXCC award application, so you have QSOs whose "QSL Rcvd" and "LoTW QSL Rcvd" items are set to 'S' ( for "submitted").

2. You're waiting for the ARRL's DXCC desk to process that application which can take months. When they notify you that your submitted QSOs have been granted DXCC Award Credit, you'd direct DXKeeper to "Verify" your submission to reflect the granting of DXCC award credit by change each 'S' in a "QSL Rcvd" and "LoTW QSL Rcvd" item to 'V'.

3. However, before you receive notice that your application has been processed, several more confirmations for previously unconfirmed DXCC entities, entity-bands, or entity-modes arrive. Instead of waiting until the DXCC desk finishes processing the application you've already submitted to complete step 2 and then direct DXKeeper to generate a new submission, the request to make it possible to manually generate a second application that includes then new LoTW confirmation. This can be done by defining a user-defined item called "Pending", and setting it to 'C' in each of those QSOs newly confirmed by QSL card, and to 'L' in each of those QSOs newly confirmed by LoTW.

4. At that point, you would

4a. make a copy of your log file

4b. direct DXKeeper to "Verify" the current submission

4c. direct DXKeeper to generate a new DXCC submission, which would automatically include those new confirmations (the ones their Pending items set to 'C' and 'L') and produce the documents needed to submit a second application

4d. revert to the Log file created in step 4a

4e. when you receive notice that your first DXCC application has been processed, you would direct DXKeeper to Verify it, changing each 'S' in a "QSL Rcvd" and "LoTW QSL Rcvd" item to 'V'

4f. then you would

4.f.1 filter the Log Page Display to contain all QSOs whose Pending item is set to 'C' and use the "Modify QSOs" function to set their "QSL Rcvd" items to 'S' and clear their Pending items

4.f.2 filter the Log Page Display to contain all QSOs whose Pending item is set to 'L' and use the "Modify QSOs" function to set their "LoTW QSL Rcvd" items to 'S' and clear their Pending items

5. when your receive notice that your second DXCC application has been processed, , you would direct DXKeeper to Verify it, changing each 'S' in a "QSL Rcvd" and "LoTW QSL Rcvd" item to 'V'

Thus you will have worked around the limitation in DXKeeper's automation of DXCC award applications that only one submission can be outstanding at a time.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.? Having to do all that makes my
head hurt.? I'll pass and stay with the way I've been doing it.

That's ticked, Any other suggestions?

+ Yes: click the Colors button in the same pane and confirm that the Log Page Display background colors are set correctly.

+ Also visit DXView's Databases tab to confirm that you have the eQSL and LoTW databases loaded.

Thanks for reply Dave.

How does one set up a user defined code within QSL_RCVD and
APP_DXKEEPER_LotW_QSL_RCVD that is treated as 'Y' for filling
the Progress (RAT) Tables?

A separate database field is overkill for this application.

Hi Phil,
Yes, you are correct. It should be 'Y' in the LOTW status box. I was thinking of the DXCC progress display, where that entity would show as confirmed using the 'C'. So the new QSOs should show a LOTW received status of 'Y', which is set automatically when you update your QSL status from LOTW. When you use DXK to assemble your next submission, the confirmed QSOs you you select will have their LOTW status set to 'S' - you don't have to do it manually.

73, Chuck KM3V

Thanks for the answer, but there isn't an option to set the LoTW recvd to 'C'. I only have R, Y, S, V, I or X to choose from, so they
are currently set at Y.

Which, at present, is the correct answer for - both LotW and Card -
confirmations received while an application is pending (about two
months these days). Then one must use the DXKeeper submission
generator to find those "new" confirmations in the future.

It would be handy if ADIF/Dave were to defined a 'P' (pending) status
for those of us who prefer to manually prepare submissions as the
confirmations arrive.

Hi Phil,
The newly confirmed QSOs should be left set to 'C' until you generate a new submission. Just because they were confirmed while you have an application pending, the new QSOs will not be processed in addition to the original 88. I'm guessing you assumed they would be added and that is why you want to set them to 'S'? So, no sticky note needed, DXK will handle the new confirmations as part of your next submission.
