[Dx4win] Award credit

[Dave Sharred]

HI Dennis

I know I replied off group; but I have found something strange on this.

I created a new log, for this test.

I entered a QSO with F5VHY on  20m, for today; then checked the Reports tab,
and looked at DXCC Summary - I have France worked of course.

I changed the QSO date to 01/01/1983, just to better the date that you gave;
and did the same again - I lost my credit for working France! I checked the
dates; and you are right- anything before 1st June produces no credits; 2nd
June is fine !!

I then entered a QSL "Y" for our imaginary QSO - Voila, as we say; the QSO
is shown  as confirmed !!

This behaviour holds true for 1970's QSO's too; I cannot think that this is
intended behaviour !!!

But I found a workaround too Dennis - fill in the QSL date; even for a
non-QSLled contact; all is well again !!  

Does anyone know if this has been reported before??

(I am running DX4WIN 8.04)

A strange problem! I am loading some old logs into DX4WIN. I find that any
QSO before 1st June 1983 does not create any award credits. This is on
v7.05.04 - but I find the same effect on old versions of 6.02 and 5.03. But
if I load the log into v4.05 all the award credits appear.

I tried a test with setting up a new log on v7.05 and just entering one QSO.
With a current date, the DXCC credit appears. But if I then progressively
change the date back to 1983, the credit disappears when it goes back beyond
1/6/83. Same on v6 and v5 but OK on v4.

Anyone else come across this problem?
