[Dx4win] VR2 IS AS006?

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 21:26:26 -0500

Improvement is always good, but IOTA is not well defined on the cluster, or
in the callsigns.  DX4WIN picks up the IOTA number if it is listed and even
has a sort by IOTA when the IOTA number is listed in the cluster for version
6.02.  I have VR2 contacts for Hong Kong as well as 3D2 (Fiji).  Sorry, but
I have no idea how Paul could ever know the IOTA number for more than a
small amount of contacts.  I use the IOTA window to determine if I have
worked and confirmed the IOTA as this is a quick test once you enter the
correct IOTA number.  Most of DX4WIN's default IOTA numbers seem to be
correct, but for many IOTA Dxepeditions, the same call on the same day will
have multiple IOTA numbers.  Guess we will have to find most of these the
hard way by checking to see if we have worked them rather than letting Paul
do it for us.

Subject: [Dx4win] VR2 IS AS006?

I just received my cards after an iota application.
I send among others and a vr2jk card which dx4win shows as AS006.
Unfortunately the card was rejected because vr2jk is on mainland.
I don't understand why dx4win shows all the stations with the vr2 prefix
like as006. It is wrong as the iota checker says. How can i change it?
Any other comments?
By the way i think that dx4win needs some improvements for iota chasers.
One feature i want is a different colour for new iota in cluster spots.
An all time new iota is probably a black spot now. It would be nice to have
a different colour if it was new or worked but no comfirmed.
