I used CTWin for the recent CA QSO Party (CQP). I converted my CT Bin file to an ADIF file using the CT c2a utility then imported the contest log to DX4WIN.
In looking at my new entries I discovered some of the CA County names did not get transferred over. For some reason they were not all included in the .adi files import. This is a separate issue with CT.
Having done the above, I then wished to update my DX4WIN log with the CA County logged. I opened the F3 window and for each and every CQP QSO I clicked on the UPDATE QSO button in the F3 window. Is there a way to do this automatically for each new QSO logged or imported? Having to click on UPDATE QSO in the F3 window several hundred times after importing a state QSO party log is kind of a pain. To make it worse I discovered DX4WIN was not saving the changes made by pressing the UPDATE QSO button. I would click the UPDATE QSO button, DX4WIN would fill in the info, then I would click on the slider to go to the next QSO. But the changes I just made were not saved. Even by pressing F10 after each change they were not saved. the only way I could save them was to push UPDATE QSO the hit ENTER. DX4WIN would ask me if I wanted to save the changes, I would say yes, then it would save the changes and go to the next QSO. This is quite an involved, time taking process. Is there a way to make it quicker?
TIA & 73
