[Dx4win] 8.01 REPORT GENERATOR

[Dave Perry N4QS]

Dave,

I  agree with your comments on the M issue.

This is a show stopper in my opinion.  I do not see how I can manage sending 
off QSL cards if  Lotw uploads are displayed as M in the DXCC Listing.  This 
makes no sense.  M should only appear when an actual QSL has been printed 
and mailed.  Should have nothing to do with uploads to Lotw or eQSL.  I 
upload to Lotw frequently and often wait for a while before I send a QSL. 
These uploaded contacts should continue to be listed as W like they were in 
7.07.

I have found another problem.  The worked cutoff (Files, Preferences, 
Personal) no longer appears to work.  In version 7.07 I had the worked 
cutoff set for 3650 days (10 years).  This value converted over in 8.0, but 
the cutoff is not working.  My DXCC summary totals now show a much higher 
number for Total Worked due to this issue.  When I go back to 7.07 and 
change the value to 0 for worked cutoff, I get the same number of Total 
Worked as in ver 8.0 with the value set to 3650.

I may have to revert back to 7.07 for a while and let the dust settle.

Dave, N4QS

The way that the report generator works is causing me a problem.

Using QSL and LOTW as confirmation for DXCC when the log is up-loaded to 
LOTW all contacts are reported as "M". I now have no easy way of knowing 
which stations that I should send a QSL to after waiting an appropriate time 
to see if they show up on LOTW.

QSO's that get up-loaded to LOTW should not be reported as "M", they should 
be reported with some other letter or not at all until confirmed.

Anyway that is my opinion.

Love the new version (except for the above)
