[Dx4win] Counties

[Alan Zack]

You may already know this but just in case, with the main QSO window open, you click the F3 key a window will open marked CALLSIGN/MGR. This show QSL info for the call. If the call is a USA/KP4/KP2/KL7/KH6 call the county will be shown in this window. If you click Update QSO in the bottom of this window it will fill in the ops first name, his state, county, and grid in the QSO window. When you set up this window right click on the window then select (tic on) Automatic update. Hope this helps

County hunting is a noble, if not difficult pursuit.  I have worked and confirmed all 3077 US Counties on both CW and SSB, but have never had time to submit for the USACA award.  Hopefully, I will have time when I retire.  I am within 100 confirmations of 20 meters only.  I have over 2000 worked on digital, but I am not trying to confirm them.

Regarding state QSO parties, if you logged them using a logging program that can output ADIF to import into DX4WIN, please look at this utility that I wrote:

This will convert the county abbreviations to counties in DX4WIN.

If you still have the state QSO party county abbreviations in your DX4WIN log, I could try to convert them for you, but it may take time to come up with the right program to do it.  Please contact me off the reflector.
