[Dx4win] RE : DXCC Award Question

[F6EXV]

Hello all
You can have more than 338, ... if you have deleted counters.
DXCC Challenge, 5BDXCC and I suppose 9BDXCC cannot included deleted
ones, but band awards can !

No, that's not correct.  Think of a DXCC checklist.  There can only be 
one check mark in each credit box - one check for mixed, one for CW, one

for SSB, one for RTTY, one for 160, one for 80, etc.  Count the total 
check marks in a single column, that's how many credits you have for 
that column.

There are 339 DXCC entities.  You can have up to 339 Mixed credits, 339 
CW credits, 339 80 meter credits, etc.  But no more.

If you want to be super accurate, you can look up your LoTW credits on 
the web and see which QSO gave you credit for mixed, for CW, for 80 
meters, etc, and uncheck the rest of the mixed, CW and 80m award flags 
in DX4WIN for the QSOs that did not result in credit.  I don't think 
DX4WIN really cares, your totals in the Reports -> Summary window will 
be correct, regardless of how many extra credits are checked (DX4WIN 
only counts them once).
