ClubLog Inbound OQRS and QSL_Rcvd
|
I set up the Inbound OQRS according to the instructions and it works great. Thanks for the feature Dave.
My question is about what gets printed in the 'QSL?' field on the labels. The QSL requests from ClubLog have QSL_Sent set to R and QSL_Rcvd empty. When I print labels I get 'pse!' in the 'QSL?' field. I would expect this field to be blank if QSL_Rcvd is empty. I have been filtering for QSL_Sent=R and then setting QSL_Rcvd=I before printing OQRS labels. I would like to eliminate this step. Is there a setting somewhere that would remove the return QSL request? 73, Pat K?PC |

That is probably the case. How do I turn off DXCC tracking for my DXpedtion database without disabling it for my home database? When I turn it off under DXKeeper Configuration Awards tab it applies to everything.

A ZS or TF station using the current version of DXKeeper with OQRS enabled would see "please QSL" included on at most one outgoing K card/label and on at most one outgoing VE card/label. The proposed "never request confirmation" option, if enabled, would inhibit the inclusion of "please QSL" on those outgoing cards/labels. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

QSOs for which an Inbound OQRS request have been received cannot be distinguished from QSOs for which no Inbound OQRS request has been received: each logged QSO has "QSL Sent Via" and "QSL Rcvd Via" items, but there is no "QSL Requested Via" item.

Adding a "never request confirmation" option to the "QSL Configuration" window's "Inbound OQRS" panel as I initially proposed would require adding a "QSL Requested Via" item to every logged QSO. To avoid that, I have instead added a new "Add Requested never request confirmation" option to the "Add Requested" panel on the "QSL Configuration" window's General tab. When this new option is enabled, QSL cards or labels generated from QSOs added to the QSL Queue by the "Add Requested" function will not include 'please!' or 'pse!' in their QSL column. This new "Add Requested never request confirmation" option is saved in the log file. Thus you can enable it for DXpedition logs, but disable it for you K0PC log. Loading a log file will automatically set the "Add Requested never request confirmation" option to the value you last specified with that log open. I have sent you a version of DXKeeper with this "Add Requested never request confirmation" option implemented. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks! 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----
