[Dx4win] Notes For This Call Oddities

[John Bednar]

The 7 hour error issue also disappears if you use C2A to convert and
import CT contest logs. This error is caused by using an old
out-of-date CT bin to text log converter program (b2r9.exe).

this is not a dx4win isue ..but more a operater error.
I have lots of contest qso cards where time's are off 7 hours.Even I
have
some where contest is on monday evening !!
Check your adifs files or CT files before doing a save !
Maybe whe have to write a book '' Dx4win for Dummies"

I wish I could help you, Dick. I have the same problem. Most of the
35K QSOs in my DX4Win database are imports from CT, TR and Writelog
contest logs. For CT and TR I use logconvert to convert to ADIF. For
Writelog I used its own ADIF generation function. Then I import the
ADIF using DX4W.  Most of the resulting records have loads of
extraneous info in the Notes for This Call field. Much of it never
appeared in any field of the original logs. It must be coming from
some kind of global database that DX4Win sucks in without
provocation.
I've asked before on this reflector but never received a coherent
response. Since all I use DX4Win for is replying to received QSLs,
it
works for me. But it seems to be useless as a general logger because
of all this random garbage it keeps jamming in that field. I wanted
to
use it as my daily logger but I've fallen back to Writelog for that.

73,
