[Dx4win] RE: Problem with Maximum QSOs Limited to 3 on a CustomLabel

Thu Feb 2 22:50:28 EST 2006

I was thinking that might be the answer as I was
following the thread....
I use   @@ 73, Art - %%  which also adds 'Group
Name' to the label.  I might have one JA call
with several TNX or PSE QSL and several 'Group
Names' (CQ WPX CW 2005, CQWW CW 2005, etc). I
have room on the back of my QSL for 6 labels.
Waste labels, but I steal them from work. Thats
OK. I have my own business!  :)
I have got to get a DYMO tho for those GREAT QSO's.
So I can print the label on the spot..I mark em 
to QSL and by the time I print 300-600 labels
months later I can't figure why I'm sending a 
W4 a card! I would like to see a ## that lets the
label print the 'Notes for this QSO' field.....
