Re: DOK's
Hello Phil and group,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
you cannot count a DOK and a Sonder-DOK (S-DOK), special DOK, which are on the same card. Only one of them will be counted. So, if you get a card with my DOK U11 printed on the card (I believe you should have my card already) and another new one with the S-DOK DARCVO stamped or printed on my standard QSL the U11 should be crossed out. So, if you should still need DARCVO you can reach me at 3581 USB +1500 Hz in Olivia during the week ... (after about 2230 / 2300 UTC). 73 Juergen, DL8LE --- In dxlab@..., "Phil Cooper" <pcooper@...> wrote:

Re: Strange addresses from QRZ.com
The assembly of valid addresses from the address components you provide
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
depends on the postal country. Previously, application developers could drive this from the ARRL country code specified in the ccode field. Without notice, you've changed ccode to contain a "QRZ country code", which is different from the ARRL country code, and not defined in the current specification: Indeed, this specification continues to indicate that ccode contains a "dxcc entity code for the mailing address country". Thus applications that rely on ccode to correctly assemble addresses are now broken. Correcting them means either going back to relying on the country field (which is fragile, because country names can subtly change), or relying on the new contents of ccode -- your "QRZ country code", which is undocumented, and whose stability is unknown. While your information is not being used to control a pacemaker or a nuclear plant, your users do expect addresses generated with your data access service to be correct. Having your paid subscription service be less reliable than what's available for free via www.qrz.com is not a great strategy for growing revenue. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----

Re: DOK's
Phil Cooper
Phil, Bill and the group,
As far as I can make out, the DOK must be printed on the QSL card for it to count. I had a few that I took to Friedrichshafen last year that were not showing a DOK, and the answer was "no DOK, no claim". The DOK award is a very nice award, but please note that it is on a PER BAND basis only. Like Koen, I always put PSE UR DOK FOR AWARD on QSL cards sent to DL stations, but in most cases, they are printed on the card somewhere. On occasions, you do have to look hard for them. The only ones I am still not too sure about are where a card shows a DOK and an SDOK. I hadn't realised cards could show both, but since making my application, I have found a couple of cards that have both. I guess you could possibly claim both, but I will clarify that neat year in Germany. From what I can gather, purists only collect DOK's, or SDOK's, but don't mix them. Most of us are just after the award, and don't care which it is.Currently, I am standing at around 260 confirmed on 20m, all RTTY, and I have had a few more, and I am always chasing more. Next year, I plan to claim 100+ on 40m and 80m, but I will need some time to sort the cards!!!!!!!!!! To make my life easier, I altered the script to show DOK's on a per band basis, with the mode set at RTTY. These could easily be adapted to other or mixed modes. These are available on the DXLabs Yahoo group, under FILES, then choose scripts. 73 all Phil GU0SUP --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

".... The last line of the address block area must include only the complete country name (no abbreviations) written in uppercase letters. ...." It also said that language specific addresses are permitted but the city, province, and country must also appear in English. I don't know how strictly this is enforced. "U.K." has worked in the past for example. I know I had a USPS employee squawk about the extra marks of another language but a more senior employee said it was readable in English by ignoring the marks and took it. The characters were Roman letters specified by USPS but had extra marks. 73, Larry W6NWS ----- Original Message -----

I also thought I read once where the country name was supposed to be in all capital letters. Unless there is a postal expert watching the forum that can answer that I will try to check the USPS site for answers. There are some, like San Marino, that if you go to the USPS site to look up postage they have no problem telling you but if try sending to San Marino without "via Italy" it will eventually come back to you as an invalid address in a month or two. I know there are some others but just don't recall which ones (SMOM is probably one). 73, Larry W6NWS ----- Original Message -----

Re: winkeyerusb, and ww cw/ptt settings
My Omni 6+ is full break in even with my Hercules II linear fired up, so I have no need for PTT. However, I have experimented with it on the WKUSB and recommend that you set it as fast as your system will tolerate to avoid confusing audio feedback that scrambles you brain while trying to key with a paddle. Try 10 milliseconds.

I got my first hard drive around 1981. It was bigger than a breadbox, made a lot more noise and was a whopping 5 MB! Ran off an Apple IIe clone. I don't remember the cost, but it was a hell of a lot more than one pays for a good hard drive these days!

Thanks for posting your info on your drives. I'm still running XP and have thus far avoided the Vista experience. When my oldest PC (there are five of them in the house) needs replacing, it will most likely have Windows 7 on it. I hung onto DOS for a long, long time. Around the time Win 98SE came out, I figured I'd better get on board. Missed all the problems with WIN95 and WIN98 1st edition, but got accidentally snared with the ME edition. Such is life. I've been keeping an eye on the WIKI Dave keeps updated so when I make the change to WIN7 I'll be ready - I hope! Art - N4PJ --- In dxlab@..., Rich - W3ZJ <rich@...> wrote:

Subject: [dxlab] Help me understand RTTY splits When I click on a RTTY spot in SC, Commander sets my FT-1000MP to DUAL and SPLIT and sets VFO A to QRG and VFO B to QSX. Now that is OK with me BUT, the WW waterfall frequencies are VFO B. The QRG frequency is not even visible. So then, what I do, is turn off DUAL and SPLIT, leave VFO A on QRG and uncheck the 'net' box on WW. This permits me to QSX on the waterfall using the right mouse button. This seems like too many unnecessary steps but is the only way that I can see the QRG frequency on the waterfall which is necessary for correct tuning.
