[Dx4win] Group numbers

[Alan Zack]

Maybe the logic behind that is that GROUP 0 is undefined, it is for 
ALL QSO's not assigned to another group, so no name is to be assigned 
to it.  For my logging, since I use DX4WIN to track contests as well 
as regulars QSO's I do not use GROUP 0 at all.  I use GROUP numbers 
assigned to different calls I have held or to contests I have worked. 
  The group number remains the same when you close then reopen DX4WIN 
unless YOU change it.  So in my case, I use GROUP 100 as my current 
default GROUP number I log to for everyday QSO's under my current 
call.  If I enter a contest I use CT then download the CT ADIF contest 
file to DX4WIN under it's newly assigned individual GROUP number for 
each contest.  My only worry is someday I may use up all available 
unused group numbers.

With my old Logging pgm I would sometimes waste QSL cards as I would 
go to the Philippines for the CQWWDX or 10 mtr contests.  Then when I 
would print out QSL labels I would sometimes accidentally paste them 
on my stateside QSL cards instead of my portable DU cards because I 
didn't pay proper attention to the dates on the label that was the 
only way to know where I was during that QSO.  Now, with DX4WIN, the 
bottom of my label will say "K7ACZ Reg QSO" or "2002 CQWWDX DU6/K6ACZ" 
or "2003 ARRL 10 M DU1/K7ACZ".  Now there is NO question which QSL 
card to use.  I find it VERY helpful.
