[Dx4win] Import Abort - Duplicate QSO's

[Art - W6KY]

Hi Jim,

Logged as 2 QSO's. But with different reports representing the county's.
K7ZX sitting on the county line...

Using 8.01.. Did the County conversion program. Same results.

Never had this happen before because in a contest when I am in a run
mode I always work dupes. Contest software counts them as zero so
it doesn't matter. Never dupe in S&P. N1MM software.

This contest I only worked abt 100 Q's so I can easily remove the 6
or 8 county line dupes, but in a major contest... I really don't see the
need to 'abort' an import due to dupes. Maybe a yes or no to proceed
but not abort...

73, Art  W6KY

Hi Art,

How did you log the call and QTH?  What version of DX4WIN are you using?

If the QSOs are the same *except* for the County, I believe that
DX4WIN 8.0x will NOT think they are duplicates.

Have you tried running this program on your log to convert the contest
abbreviations to real ADIF county names?

In fact, this program will create two QSOs out of the county line, and
will add 1 second to the second QSO.
