[Dx4win] DXCC Award Submission problem

Fri, 4 Oct 2002 00:32:39 -0500

That is true now, but I just sent ARRL over $100 with my submittal last
week, which included re-submitting many many cards that had been previously
submitted and ARRL did not record the band until several years ago.  ARRL
does not accept less than 100 cards with the first submittal.  I believe
they have dropped the minimum cards that have to be submitted.

DX4WIN also credits you for MIXED, BAND, and MODE for any card that you
submit IF you have the DXCC preferences set up correctly.  I do not know
what you would want the author to fix.  The program won't submit cards
automatically (like my 30 meter cards) where I only have 91 confirmed until
I get 100 or more.

If you don't tell ARRL which qso's to credit, you will be charged for each
and every qso on the cards you submit, whether you have already paid for
them previously.

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
