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

I am importing logs from wsjtx, jtdx, mshv etc. Most of the time I use jtalert to log to DXK at the same time but occasionally their are hiccups. When I do an import I usually get an unaccepted number of dupes. I am not sure what boxes to check for a cleaner import. I am using check duplicates on import +/- 10 mins and merge info. I might of had consider grid squares checked. Maybe I need to increase the minute range.
+ Choose a duplicate QSO that was imported. Compare it to the original QSO that was already present. The comparison will reveal the changes to make in the "Duplicate checking" panel on the Main window's "Import QSOs" tab.
73,
Dave, AA6YQ

Re: [cwops] [DXLab] Importing N1MM+ and/or WSJT-X logs
Thanks, but I just wanted to say how well the gateway program works and how it can save users time and effort.

You are the best Jim de KD2FSH Jerry # 1918
I just completed my second CWT today running DXKeeper along with N1MM using the N1MM-DXKeeper Gateway, rather than exporting an ADI from N1MM to import into DXKeeper.? I had the Gateway program
configured to do a QRZ.com lookup as each contact was processed.
?
I made 165 Qs in the hour.? I have a new Dell XPS 8960 with two SSDs and 64GB of RAM, and the Gateway program worked just fine.? My internet upload speed from Verizon 5G Home Internet is only
about 22Mbps.
?
I also had the Real Time Contest Server running, uploading each contact, and that was fine too.
?
?
?
?
Jn my opinion it is best not to use the bridge , especially in a contest, as it slows thigs down a lot and you can miss things. Best to export the N1MM log after you are done and import the adif to DXKeeper.
It always works and you get everything filled in that you have configured in DXKeeper. VERY reliable.

Re: Display more memories
+ AA6YQ comments below
Is there a way to display more than the 10 memories per bank?? I would love to see two bank or 20 memories or have this customizable if possible.

+ AA6YQ comments below
I've been wondering about this for some time, since in the config, on the Prediction panel, both of these bands are included.? It would definitely be a help if either one or both was available.
?
What if I used the ICEPAC LUF & MUF instead?? (I admit, I don't know much about these engines...)
+ Older propagation prediction engines may support a wider frequency range, but they are inferior to VOACAP on HF bands. SpotCollector directs PropView to use VOACAP; I'm not planning to enable the use of older inferior propagation engines even if doing so would yield forecasts on 160m and 6m. ? ? ? 73,

There is almost no way to predict (ES) e-skip propagation on 6m
and even F2 openings seem to make no sense at times.? Your best
bet is to watch dx maps and be in the ON4KST chat if you are a
serious 6m op.
