[Dx4win] Multiple QSOs change on QSO NOTES - Group Numbers

[Alan Zack]

I've been doing the same as John, using a new group number for each 
contest.  I wasn't thinking of running out as up to this thread I 
thought I could go to 999.  One nice thing is that your labels will 
print with the contest name this way as Jim said.

Hi All;

I maybe missed the point, but I really wonder what you guys are doing to 
even think about running out of Group numbers.

I don't understand anyone's need really to group by year or by contest; 
since you would still need to do a search operation (F8) to filter by 
Group. You might as well do a search by date in that case.   I use 
Groups in my main log to differentiate from G3NKC and G3NKC/P, and I 
think I set up GQ3NKC - so call sign variants.

For my GD contest operations, I currently hold separate logs for GD0EMG, 
MD6V, and MD4K; even though I have been thinking about the merits of 
merging those logs (might be nice to see a complete DXCC achievement, 
for instance); but I often think these would be outweighed by the 
overhead when doing the QSLling chores (when someone requests a card, I 
normally QSL all QSO's with our particular contest call. I might end up 
selecting QSL's for all call's; meaning I have 3 labels that would have 
to go on 3 cards). ON balance I think those logs will stay separate.

Hi Bill,
I'm not sure how you allocate your group numbers. I started giving a 
number to every contest, IE CQ WPX CW,2005,2006,2007 ETC and could see I 
would fast run out of numbers. On a suggestion from a local user I now 
only have one number for each contest and use the same number each year. 
Its a simple matter to filter by year or mode as and when you require. 
This has reduced my groups considerably.

Cheers

Group numbers is a nice feature and I use it a lot. I just wish we were 
allowed more than 254 group numbers. At my present rate I will have all 
254 numbers used by CQ WPX CW this year. When that happens I will have 
to look at other options to accomplish this or look at different 
software that will do what I want.

What about using group numbers - assign a different group to each 
imported log?
