[Dx4win] LOG Window/Selection and Edit Group names

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Kirk,

First, make sure you are in Expert mode (first tab of Preferences).

Second, you do NOT need to "EDIT the GROUP NAME from #0 to say a call sign".

If the calls you used can be separated by DATE, then go to Filter -> Selection and set up DATE filters for each call you used (starting and ending date).   When you use that filter selection, only QSOs within those dates (i.e. with the call you used) are "active".  So you can export these QSOs to an ADIF file, then sign and upload to LoTW.

You will also need to request separate LoTW certificates for each call (using TQSLcert).  You can use one of your existing certificates to sign the requests.  That will speed up the process of getting the new certs. from ARRL.

Subject: [Dx4win] LOG Window/Selection and Edit Group names

For a long time I've been asked to get my logs onto Lotw.

So now I have begun process....here is where I am at.

My log consists of QSO's from 5 calls I have held over 30 years.
QSO's from 3 of these calls I will import to Lotw.

Here is where I'm stuck. All QSO's have been logged as group #0 (Default 
I guess) If I do a search in a given DATE range I can pull out the QSOs 
from each CALL. But if I'm seeing this right I need to EDIT the GROUP 
NAME from #0 to say a call sign?

On my LOG Window/Filter tab....The Selection and Edit Group Names 
functions are GRAYED out..can not be chosen.

How do I search then mark the given QSO's for each of the 3 calls I want 
to upload to Lotw? Independently of one another?
