[Dx4win] Internet Callsign Lookup

Wed Feb 22 21:14:27 EST 2006

Place your cursor in the QSL MGR box in the main
screen.
Hopefully you have the call of the mgr entered. Hit
'ctl e' and a new window will open for the address of
that manager. You should already have the address of
that manager ready.  Now enter (paste, copy) into that
QSL manager address box....
When you print your QSL's, every call associated with
that manager will be printed with the managers address
label...example:  W3HNK manager might have several 
DX labels to attach to you cards and put in an
envelope
to Joe.....When printing those labels will all be
grouped
with Joe's call.... Great feature.. I use it for every
manager and the cool thing is DX4WIN remembers all the
addresses for every batch of QSL labels...
