I am sending this separate from my previous QRZ XML post as I don't want
the two confused. This has nothing to do with XML functionality.
I have always (since D4W v2.1) wanted more QSL functionality. Let me
give a real-world example:
In 1998 I sent a QSL to ER4DX via the W5FE QSL service.
In 1999 I sent another QSL via the buro.
In 2003 I sent another QSL via the buro and uploaded the data to LOTW.
In 2005 I sent a QSL direct to his QSL manager with SAE, IRC and $2. My
mail bounced. I sent another QSL direct to his QSL manager via a
different mailing address with SAE, IRC and $2. No joy.
In 2007 I sent a QSL direct to ER4DX with SAE, IRC and $2.
In 2008 I sent another QSL direct to a different mailing address with
SAE, IRC and $2.
In 2009 I sent another QSL direct via Registered Mail with SAE, IRC and $2.
In 2010 I received multiple responses via direct and the buro.
In 2011 I received a LOTW confirmation.
The above dates and QSL methods are approximations from memory. I would
dearly love to be able to push a virtual button and have D4W print out a
searchable summary of each QSL attempt to ER4DX with dates, methods,
addresses, enclosures and results.
The previous release (8.x) was heavily oriented toward contesting. I
would love to see 9.x be the QSL manager I have always wanted.
Thanks for the consideration.
