Re: discrepancy between LOTW and DXKeeper QSO totals

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
I was trying to recover a LOTW confirmation on a single contact.
+ Right-click the QSO in the Log Page Display, and select "Update from LoTW" from the pop-up menu.
I did the CTRL sync QSO's and LOTW is reporting over 100k qso's. DXK log says 76k.
Is the 100k that LOTW? states include other calls I have used such as DXpeditions?? I am unsure where I would have made 30k qsos that got uploaded to LOTW without using DXK.

I believe I can create a blank new log and then import from LOTW and find out?
+ Direct LoTW to download those 100K QSO to an ADIF file. Then you can import them into a new DXKeeper log to analyze them
BTW inspecting 100k qsos takes a very long time.
+ CTRL-Sync-LoTW-QSOs doesn't just inspect each QSO, it searches your entire log looking for each QSO reported by LoTW and then updates the QSO it locates.

Filter question

 

I wrote the following filter in Spot Collector:

(SPSNR>ReqSNR
or
LPSNR>ReqSNR)
and
<Needfilter>
and
<LotWfilter>
and
<Modefilter>
and
<Bandfilter>
and
<Agefilter>

I "expected" to get spots with SP or LP of over 50, and higher, and I do, but I also get some spots where SP and LP are both blank (NOT on six meters).? Did I misunderstand something?

Thanks,
Earl / KD5XB

Re: SP Prob & LP Prob

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Just before this was posted yesterday, I managed to work 5H1KB, Tanzania on 10 meters FT8.? As per my usual routine for suspected weak signals I looked at ±Ê°ù´Ç±è³Õ¾±±ð·É¡¯²õ prediction graph.? Not only was 10 meters predicted to be good, the chart had the maximum usable frequency above 6-meters.? I have never heard or worked a 6-meter African station from here on the West Coast.? But it was nice to see the prediction and maybe I¡¯ll work a few 6-meter African QS0s this sun Spot Cycle..

Should I be seeing SP Probability and LP Probability on 6 meters, or is this strictly 10-80 meters?

+ "when checked,??1.8.7 or later can be directed to generate Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Probability predictions for Spot Database Entries whose frequencies are in the range of 2 Mhz to 30 Mhz."

+ "Class not registered" means that your DXKeeper installation has been corrupted. To repair it,

1. make sure you have a backup of your log stored elsewhere. Don't delete anything.

2. terminate all applications except the Launcher

3. direct the Launcher to create a new Workspace, and populate it with DXKeeper's settings

4. terminate the Launcher

5. reboot Windows

6. using the Windows Control Panel's "Uninstall an program" function, direct Windows to uninstall DXKeeper

7. start the Launcher, and direct it to install DXKeeper

8. start DXKeeper; if DXKeeper's settings are missing, terminate DXKeeper, direct the Launcher to recover DXKeeper's settings from the Workspace you created in step 3, and then restart DXKeeper

Re: Display more memories

 

Dave's Commander manual says (and maybe this can help you):

To help keep track of each memory's purpose,? you can record notes that pop up whenever the mouse cursor hovers over the memory's Sel button. To record such notes,? depress the Ctrl key while clicking the Sel button; Commander will display a Memory Notes Editor window that allows you to capture notes:

  • notes may not contain the angle bracket characters < or > .

  • clicking the Notes Editor's Insert Timestamp button appends a the current UTC date and time to the notes

You can direct Commander to display each memory's notes in place of its frequency, mode, and filter -- simply click the command button captioned ~ in the upper right corner of the memory bank panel. To return to a display of memory frequency, mode, and filter, click the ~ button again.

Re: Display more memories

 

Dx commander memories are handy for me since my biological memory is awful. ?Could a small title bar be added over each memory list in dx commander? We have 10 frequency lists, but it is not obvious which is which among those that you use less often.?

Does the 100k match the number in the header (lower right) of the
LotW "My QSOs" page?

It is likely, unless you have specified a single callsign in QSL Config
-> LotW -> "Limit Sync operations to this station callsign" that the
number includes all callsigns in your DXCC/LotW account.

I was trying to recover a LOTW confirmation on a single contact.
Do you know what the contact was - callsign at least? If so use the
LotW "My QSOs" page, search for that callsign and enter the data
manually.

Re: DXKeeper Command line import support

 

Yes, I'm aware of the DXK support (and some other "gateways" like JTAlert). However, I've programmed my own "Monitor/Reporter" on top of WSJT-X? giving more
"personal" touch on the decodes from WSJT-X...

Re: DXKeeper Command line import support

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

I've done some of my own "scripts" scanning WSJT-X adi files (creating import *.adif-files) and I have a wish that that I could import those in DXKeeper from directly via a command line instead via DXKeeper menus (works fine..). It would be a another interface to communicate with DXKeeper... like cmd: DXKImport.exe /f adif-file [optional parameters]. If this is doable I would be a lucky guy !

+ You can start DXKeeper with a single command line argument: the full pathname of the log file you wish DXKeeper to open. There are no command line switches or other arguments, so you cannot specify an ADIF file to be imported.

+ Are you aware that QSOs logged via WSJT-X can be directly conveyed to DXKeeper without the need to import an ADIF file? See
