[Dx4win] Confusion over "checked" awards flags

Tue, 25 Feb 2003 19:01:20 -0600

First, be sure that preferences are set correctly for your station and DXCC
modes.  Look at a DXCC summary report.  It should show how many countries
you have Checked by ARRL for each band.  Submitted is marked for those
contacts automatically tha are included in the DXCC submittal.  Let me know
if you have any other questions after looking at my summary report for all
bands and modes and yours.  I just got back the report from ARRL for the 738
submittals I just made and they will be converted to Checked once I have
gone through their comments.  DX4WIN really works well on DXCC submittals.

Subject: [Dx4win] Confusion over "checked" awards flags

Given enough time, I might be able to figure this out myself, but I'm sure
one of you has already been through this so will just ask  in order to save
some time.  I converted to DX4WIN about 18 months back and imported all my
log data from the previous logging program (running 5.03 now).  When I did
that, I went through the QSOs that had already been credited for my DXCC and
marked them all "Checked" in the Mixed DXCC award flags.  So, when I look at
the DXCC summary report, the right number of countries appear as Checked.

Now it's time to submit for 5BDXCC and I attempted to prepare a submission,
but DX4WIN tells me that it won't include 4 of the bands because I'm already
credited for 100 countries on those bands, which is incorrect.  So, I look
at the DXCC listing report and take a look at the line for 3B6.  It shows a
"C" for the bands 30 through 10, because a QSO marked confirmed=Y exists
with 3B6 on each of those bands.  Only one of those QSOs has the DXCC Mixed
awards flagged set to "Chkd".  It appears to me that DX4WIN is counting all
such QSOs as "Checked" even though they have not been.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?  All QSOs that have the DXCC Mixed
awards flag set to Chkd show up as a "*" in the listing, and I assumed that
DX4WIN would only count THOSE QSOs as already checked.

All ideas appreciated!
