[Dx4win] Merging logs

[py2yp]

Hi Paul,

The best way to merge different calls is to set a group number for each 
one, however, the group 0 (zero) is set to all callsigns, e.g., all the 
statics will refer to all calls. Every time you run the DX4WIN, by 
default, the group is set to group 0.

When selecting a group, say, group 2 for F6EXV/FO for example, you will 
have the statics for this call only and will print cards for this call 
only. Analogue, you will have same results for group 3, say, F6EXV/KH8 
and so on.

As I said the group 0 will reflect the statistics for all calls: F6EXV + 
F6EXV/FO + F6EXV/KH8 + ...

Of course you may want all the statics for F6EXV only. In this case you 
must have a log for this call not adding any other call from different 
DXCC country. In the case you have had another French call, say, F9EXV 
you may set a group for this one among F6EXV log.

Setting group numbers may look a little bit complicated but once you 
read the manual it is quite simple.

I use the group number feature for several previous and contest calls, 
all of them from the DXCC country with very good results. Very 
practical, to say the least. In my opinion this is the best solution for 
your problem.
