Thanks, Mike. If that's the case, you're right. DX4WIN seems pretty useless
for FFMA tracking. I'm familiar with Lance's spreadsheet and KV5W's
database. I was hoping for something more "automated" based on my log.

Hello Larry,

There are better tools for tracking FFMA.  When you use one of the custom
awards in dx4win, you must first tell the program to apply a QSO to a custom
award.  So, for every 6m QSO, you would need to go back and fill in the
Custom Award (FFMA) and Custom Award Value (grid square) for each QSO
individually.

W7GJ has a tracking program on his web site: http://www.bigskyspaces.com/
and KV5W maintains an on line database for FFMA chasers.  Info on his QRZ
page.  These are probably the most convenient tools to use.

GL with the chase.

I'm feeling a bit ignorant on how to create a report showing the grids I
have worked for credit towards the Fred Fish Memorial Award (488 US mainland
grids).  I've never had the need to create a custom report until now, so
this part of my DX4WIN experience is lacking. 



I have the Custom Award Database (v 21.3 2021/04/03 21:44:03) in my "save"
directory and can generate a report showing the grids that are in the
program, but that report is not populated with the grids I have worked. It
actually shows no grids worked. 



I am missing something somewhere. Can someone walk me through, step-by-step,
the process of  getting a report that shows FFMA award status using logbook
data?
