[Dx4win] Search For QSOs with Deleted Entities

Mon Aug 8 04:26:16 EDT 2022

If you ask a report (QSO window>Reports>DXCC) and check included 
deleted, you can go at the end where the deleted entities are, and 
double click on mixed, you will get all the QSOs of this entity. In case 
you have one of them checked you need to uncheck it to see but then I 
assume that you don't need to see this one...

If you want to see all QSOs in each entity and not only Checked or 
confirmed, etc you can create a temporary log where you can clear 
confirmed QSLs and lotw, and clear also QSL date. Then the above 
procedure should work for all QSOs (really with the same "value" QSOs 
but value is now worked).

Because I am outside of the shack I can not check it but I remember that 
works something like this, or not?
