[Dx4win] How to search

[David Perry, N4QS]

Pepe, Jim and the others who responded:

Thanks for the easy way to search for QSOs without a grid.

I used the ! character in the grid field of DX4WIN to search for QSOs on 6m without a grid.  It turned out that of my 8,000+ Qs on 6m, the search revealed 200 without a grid.  I looked them all up and found about 20 new grids that I did not know that I had worked.  I also found 4 confirmed grids via QSL card that had not been marked with a grid.  That put my VUCC totals for 6m at 940 worked and 895 confirmed.  45 cards are now in the mail to confirm the others that did not confirm via Lotw.  Sadly, I also found a few SKs for grids worked in years past.

For anyone tracking the VUCC award, it is a good idea to search your log for any Qs without grids periodically.

73,

Dave, N4QS
