[Dx4win] FW: Operating from two QTH.

Wed Oct 12 17:17:07 EDT 2022

Whenever I have operated from another location, for example operating in
another state, I have just kept a separate log.  This, too, has pluses and
minuses in that you don't see complete statistics, reports, etc but it does
make the QSLing process easy for generating labels, etc.  I've uploaded
from these logs also, which only requires a one time upload, if my
operation was from a vacation.   On the import from LOTW side of things you
can just open each log that you may have QSLs from LOTW and run the import
for each DX4WIN log.  The contacts that are not in that log are simply
rejected.  And, if you eventually want one complete log of all QSOs, you
can open a new log and simply import all of your DX4WIN logs into the new
log.

I guess this is just another approach to dealing with multiple logs.
