Hello DX4win-users!
Strange behavior for unknown reason. As I entered the newly arrived QSLs
(cfm field to "Y") I did not found 6 of the qsos! First I thought
misswrited call signs, but it wasn't.
Following QSO showed me the "bug": 6W/DL7CM on 80m
He wrote me "not in Log" So I tried to delete this entry (and I know for
sure it was the only one 6W station I ever tried to work on 80m)
I could not find this QSO filtering by:
-Search by call
-Search by date
-Search by band
-Search by Prefix
-looking through the complete log without filter
(search by mode is useless, operating is cw only)
Then I tried: Reports> DXCC> listing
6W on 80m was marked as mailed! (As I did in 2006)
double clicking the "M" ended with "QSO not found"!
Now I wrote down the complete log as .csv file, opened a backup from
28.Nov 2008 wrote this down as a .csv file too. Comparing this two files
in a spread sheet made another suprise: No differences so far!
As I reopened the original Log file all missing QSOs showed up and I
could set cfm field to Y and delete the 6W qso on 80m. Reproducing the
bug was not possible, I closed and opened the Logfile several times.
What's annoying me: How many of the QSLs I sent back before, marked "not
in log", were really not in log?
Had anyone this experience too?
I expect the bug is not dangerous, but sure annoying. If you not sure
about one of your QSOs, I suggest close and open the log and try
again.
