I do a lot of contesting, and if I worked a station five times (on different bands), I'd get five cards from them, all automatically generated, two years after the contest, all via the Bureau. For me, at least, they destroyed the Bureau system. DXKeeper makes it very easy to upload to LOTW, eQSL, and Club Log, and I'm 100% for all three since getting back on the air in 2003. 73, Jim K9YC |

Most of these are from qslworld and seem to be from totally random quite old qsos and nothing special. I think the intention is that you should join yourself and reply via their system. Replies sent as replies to the email probably never reach your qso partner.+ There's a link the the sender's email address directly beneath the received QSL image. However, I've received no response from then 10 or so QSLs I've emailed. I just delete these now, but if you want to sign up to qslworld you are of course entitled to do so. eqsl operate a different system in that the system has a function to tell a qso partner that there are eqls waiting but the actual cards are not emailed.+ Are there any well-known awards that accept QSLWorld confirmations? + Even if the answer is "none", a QSL remains the last courtesy of a QSO. It'd be nice to be able to answer with a mouse click or 2 - if the response will reach the sender. Otherwise, your "just delete these" response would be appropriate. ? ? ? 783, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Re: Responding to Emailed QSLs
Thank you, Dave.? I was not aware of step 2B, which is much easier.? It is clumsy, but I have it working OK.
I reply to the emailed QSL.? I use Insert Image to paste in my QSL card.? Then I paste in an image of the QSL panel's print, which contains all the QSO details, then Send.

I am getting more and more online QSLs. Is there an automated way to respond back to their email address with my filled-out QSL? + Assuming you already have DXKeeper to be able to print QSL cards, as described and illustrated in 1. on the Main window's QSL tab, 1a. clear the QSL Queue if it's not empty 1b. set the "QSL Via" panel to "QSL Cards" 1c. check the "Print preview (QSL cards) box 2. For each logged QSO to which you wish to respond via email, 2a. select the QSO in the "Log Page Display" on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab 2b. right click, and select "Add to QSL Queue" from the pop-up menu 2c. on the Main window's QSL tab, click the "Print QSL Cards' button 2d. in the "Print Preview" windows that appears, click the "Copy to Clipboard" button in its upper-right corner 2e. in the Windows Paint (or equivalent) application , paste the contents of the Windows clipboard, crop the QSL card image as desired, copy the cropped image to the Windows Clipboard, and paste the image into your email response to the sender 2f. on the Main window's QSL tab, click the Clear button + This could be further automated by adding a "Copy cropped QSL image to the Clipboard" command to the Log Page Display's right mouse menu. I've added this to DXKeeper's enhancement list, but won't go near it until I publicly release the next versions of DXKeeper and SpotCollector, which are still being tested by users. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Re: Electronic QSL
Dave, if I use your method, how do I tell DXKeeper to flag a QSL for printing?? Using the "R" field in the QSL sent section?? That's already been used, in some instances, for postal QSLs.? And, the Online ones are only LOTW and eQSL.? Can I use Sent Via IOTA or one of the others and "R" to flag them for the QSL tab?

Re: Responding to Emailed QSLs
I've been getting them too, even though my QRZ page clearly states that I won't confirm the contact that way.? Usually there is a comment on the Email QSL that tells you how to respond.? Here is my issue, I am working toward ARRL awards for DXCC, etc.? These email QSLs don't count for those awards.? If you are interested in exchanging?that contact I suggest you get connected to the QSL system they are using.? My question for them is why don't they subscribe to LOTW??? Good Luck.

Spot Collector has stopped working
Hi all,
My Spot Collector has stopped working. It was rolling along fine and, a few days ago, it stopped collecting spots. I get spots from 2 spot sources, both Telnet DX Clusters. When Spot Collector connects to them, I see plenty of spots coming through from them, but nothing shows in Spot Collector, even with no filters on and all bands checked. When I enable PacketCluster spots, which I have disabled because of the volume, I get a message that says it is not connected and ¡°SC_WSJTX has reported an error; the WSJT-X spot source has been disabled¡± I hadn¡¯t changed anything that I¡¯m aware of with it stopped working and I¡¯m stumped as to how to troubleshoot the problem. TIA¡.Scot, K9JY |

Re: Graphics cards and Monitors for the shack/ DXLab (about setting affinity)
+ AA6YQ comments below
Do you need to keep Process Lasso running all the time, or can you run it once, set your parameters, and then exit? You do not need to keep the Process Lasso user interface (GUI) running at all times for your rules and optimizations to remain active. Process Lasso is designed with a separation between its GUI (ProcessLasso.exe) and its core engine, called the Governor (ProcessGovernor.exe):
Once you have set your desired parameters and rules using the GUI, you can close the GUI application. The Governor will continue to run in the background, using minimal system resources (typically 1¨C3 MB of RAM and almost no CPU), and will keep enforcing your settings. If you want the absolute minimum resource usage, you can configure Process Lasso so that only the Governor runs, without the GUI or system tray icon. Summary Table
