[Dx4win] Ideas for development

[n4qs at vci.net]

Paul,

I agree and dupes can appear in the log for many reasons.  Here are a couple:

1.  When an FT8 QSO does not complete the first time, you often need to send the 73 message a second or third time and this can cause the QSO to be logged two or three times if you are not paying attention.  Currently, I try to use ADIF Master to go into the wsjt-x log to find and delete the dupes.  But I sometimes miss a dupe and it ends up in DX4WIN and often gets uploaded to LOTW as well.

2.  For those of us who attempt to use other logging programs that interface directly with WSJT-X such as Log4om and DXLabs.  If I have already imported FT8 QSOs using the wsjt-x log and then attempt to do so from the other logging program at a later date, dupes are often created due to the QSO time differences between wsjt-x and the other logging program.  I know that you can set the Time window to match QSO in secs (other logs) when importing (See preferences, import tab), but this can still get tricky if the other log program tracks both beginning and ending time for the QSO.  

It would be nice if we could run a utility in DX4WIN to identify and eliminate dupes.  With 170,000 QSOs in my log, it is difficult to track them down on my own.  You idea is a good one.

I also like suggestions #2 and #3.  Great ideas that would be used extensively by me if available.

73,

Dave, N4QS

Hi Dan
Re garding dupes, I do not mean during a contest (every contest program will do that) but for the general log.
Example
I have run a specific contest program, and have exported to an adif file. I need to import this file into DX4Win. This is where each imported QSO should be compared to the global log and show someting when itis a dupe (same band  and same mode)

> #1 - For a specific time period (like a contest), turn on contest mode (QSO - Contest Mode).  Make sure to check off contest mode.  I think it now resets when you exit when it used to stay on until you unchecked.  It will then let you know of dupes and give a serial number.  Works nice for casual contest efforts.
