[Dx4win] Reconciling DXCC credits with DX4WIN

[Mel SM0MPV]

Credits received before the computerization of the ARRL DXCC program turns
up as the entities prefix i.e. EP2AU worked in 1964 turns up as EP in the
list. My suggestion is that if you have contacts from this time and do not
know which one actually was used; choose one of the stations you have a QSL
card from then you can change that QSO's
DXCC award flags to match the DXCC credit shown on LoTW.as Jim suggest in
his mail. It is not the actual callsign that is compared in Jim's very
useful program.

> Here's a tip about how to make DX4WIN match your ARRL DXCC records
> when you have been awarded DXCC credit, but DX4WIN does not have a
> record of such.
>
> Lot into your Logbook of the World (LoTW) account.  Click on the
> Awards link at the top, then "Select DXCC Award Account" on the left.
> You will see a table showing the number of DXCC credits you have been
> awarded for each award.  Notice that the Award names (i.e. CW or 40M)
> are hyperlinks.  Click on one of those links.  Next, you'll see
> another window with some choices.  Next to View, select the radio
> button that says "All credits".   Then click on "Select DXCC Award to
> View".  You will get a listing with two columns -- "Entity" on the
> left and the DXCC award name you selected (i.e. 40M) on the right.
> The callsigns in the right-hand column are all hyperlinks. By clicking
> on a callsign, you will see the actual QSO data for which you received
> that DXCC credit, i.e. Palau.  You can use this information to
> identify the matching QSO in DX4WIN, then you can change that QSO's
> DXCC award flags to match the DXCC credit shown on LoTW.  (i.e. set
> DXCC Band flag to C[hecked]).  Repeat for all all DXCC credits until
> you can run the "Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status with LoTW" program
> with no errors.
>
> I don't know which QSO comes up for credits that your received before
> the computerization of the ARRL DXCC program. However, matching ANY
> confirmed QSO on the same band or mode will give you the same credit.
