[Dx4win] DXCC Award Submission problem

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 23:51:03 -0500

Unfortunately, in 5.03 the authors have not yet fixed that problem.  I
got confirmation from the DXCC desk twice (Bill Kennamer, and Bill Moore)
about how the counts are done (and have been for the past 10 years), but
the last time we discussed it, the authors' interpretation of the DXCC
rules did not match what the ARRL says they practice.  Hopefully that
will change in the next version.  In short, if you submit a QSL to the
ARRL for credit, you will be credited for  the MIXED, BAND, and MODE for
that QSO.  There is never a need to resubmit that QSO again.  This is
where I spend  an evening or two reconciling my DX4WIN listing against
the ARRL's once I receive the listing back from them.  Once you know how
it operates, you can manually do the adjustment prior to moving the
"submitted" Q's to "Checked."  Hope this is useful!

        73,  Duane
