I forgot to mention, when I import the adi file from my logger into DXK, I make sure to check the box for "Substitute for missing myQTH IDs"? and choose the correct my QTH ID I made for that operation.?
Good luck and hope to work you P2P soon.
There are several apps you can use to find the county.
Where am I? - is available for both android an iphones
County Lines? - is available for iphone, not sure about android.
I know there is also a few others out there...

No, I don't?use the KX3 or KX2 with DXLabs.?

I do all?my SOTA and POTA logging on my phone. I use?Ham2K Portable Logger. It is a very useful tool. After the activation, it produces an ADI file that I import directly into DXKeeper and upload?to the POTA website. I have not had any errors doing this. Here is the link to?Ham2K Portable Logger.

I would like to be able to import my logs from my POTA ops to my main log without causing LOTW errors due to mangled MyQTH's, LOTW station locations, Rig names etc.??

Is there a document of best practices for POTA logging?? I know it's been discussed before but I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been!

Hi Chuck.? ?is the best place to get started.? You can find all the details there.? I have really gotten into POTA over the last few years.? I use N1MM+ in the field.? There are a couple
of POTA specific UDCs available.? When I get home, I import the adif file I generate from N1MM into DXKeeper.? I have made a separate "MyQTH" entry, along with a new LoTW station location? for each POTA site I activate.? ?That is the only way to do it to keep
everything straight.? I always pay attention to the grid square and county for my activations so anyone that is chasing those can have that info.? I only use one radio for POTA, so that's not a thing for me.? The required adif fields for POTA can be found
at
It looks like you're mainly a CW op, but if you plan on doing any SSB, you will probably want a 100-watt radio in your kit.? Lots of POTA operators like the Yaesu FT-891.
Be careful, POTA is very addictive!
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Ken, KJ9B

The local radio club is starting to get POTA active, and I am going to give it a try.? I own a few small rigs suitable for very lightweight work, including a small 40M monobander and a KX1.??

Please consider, however, to take away the coupling of the program to Commander.
+ You have that capability now: u ncheck the "Frequency-dependent Settings" panels Enable box.
As the prediction chart shows all open bands it would be nice if it would consider the different antennas you might have and different output powers you use on different bands and not just for the figures only which are given in the two boxes for TakeOff and Power in the Parameters Window.
+ That's the purpose of the interoperation with Commander: to provide automatic selection of power output and takeoff angle as a function of band.

Thanks a lot, Dave! I have disabled the frequency dependent settings and PV is working as expected.

The coupling to DXView, however, is still needed as I see it. Just a proposal for a future update but not of high priority for me.

oddly when i entered +2 in the override it showed UTC-2 in the TZ in DXView.
?
Changing it to -2 shows UTC+2 now.
?
+ The DXCC database specifies the UTC offset for Mali as 0. + The definition of an Override's TimeZone field is " the UTC offset for location from which the station is operating, in hours (positive for west of Greenwich England, negative for east of Greenwich England)"

1) Close DXKeeper and SpotCollector
2) Open DXView and click the DXCC button
3) Scroll down the list to ZS8
4) replace 0 in the Time Zone box with -2
5) Click "Save"
6) Click "reTable"
7) Close the DXView DXCC Database Window

DXLabsuite.com seems to be functioning here (No. Ca). I downloaded the DXView updates and launched the DXLabSuites page from Launcher just a few minutes ago.
