Subject: [Dxbase] Contest mode
Message-ID: <d8df9590-ef02-7b32-6bcb-8882e7d82fa3@k6mhe.com>

While I realize DXBase isn't a contest program I'm not a contester either so 
it's (normally) good enough for me.

That said, this past weekend I was operating in the ARRL 160 contest and had 
contest mode active, with a starting time of 2200Z on Dec 1.? For the first day 
the Dupe warning worked, but the next day it didn't, until I changed the staring 
time to 0000Z on Dec 2.? Of course earlier contacts weren't flagged as dupes but 
there weren't many so it wasn't an issue.

Come Dec 3, the problem recurred.? It appears that the mode is only good for 24 
hours.? I don't recall this being the case in the past.? Am I forgetting something?

I just worked RI1ANO on 80 meters and DXbase had it listed as Antarctica.
It should be South Shetland. I changed my prefix table.

Just FYI to all,


I have been made aware that there might be an OOPS!!  when it

comes to downloading an ADI file from LOTW - and the COUNTY information...


YES!!  There is a conflict NOW -- since LOTW adi file now is FORMATTED

totally different than it ever has been before..  With this conflict,  the COUNTY

information from the LOTW file is NOT IMPORTED..  You will see BUNCHES  of

Warnings in the Error file.


The Non-DXB Import Program  (Import.exe) will have to be modified so that

it can find the correct information...  Here is a SAMPLE QSO (from my LOTW download)

that SHOWS the NEW FORMAT for the STATE and COUNTY  info:

As far as the DXbase Non-DXB Import -- an update will have to come from Neal ...

The best way is for Neal to update the program so it works with the correct new format standard, instead of the users having to come up with work arounds.

If Neal cannot support the Program,
how about releasing it so someone
else can pick it up and modify it.

Is there any issues with doing that ?

I believe that anyone who wants to "take over" has a few obstacles. 
First, DxBase is using a Microsoft database, for which I believe there 
is a licensing fee.

I'm sure there's plenty of guys out there who can do this but it's not

Do you know the MS Database
that is being used ? I will then
see what licensing fee there is.

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 EXPRESS (Express is the key here) can be downloaded from Microsoft for free.


It is limited to a 10 GB database size.  The 10 GB for a log file should not be an issue for a log file.   I have 40K QSOs in mine and it is only 35,970 KB in size.


I use Enterprise at work, it and Standard are both pay for use, but Express is free.

You can see more at (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2017-editions).

One problem is however, the version of the database DXbase currently uses is so old, it will not open in SQL 2017 (any version).  The version of SQL was never updated with a new release.

Then, there is always the MySQL product also.

It is using Access, no distribution fee for the engine. The big issue is the card/label stuff, which appears to be using ?list and label? by combit gmbh which IS expensive

See earlier e-mail on cost.   SQL Server 2017 Express is free, no fee.


Same outdated problem if you look at Microsoft Access.  The current version (Access 2016) will not open a database from that old of a version.  You will get an error that says "Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.".

Do you know the MS Database
that is being used ? I will then
see what licensing fee there is.

Hi Dick,


Neal said he was looking at that option over a year ago, but I don't think he ever decided how.

During Dayton this year, I decided that I was going to take a different approach for DXBase as my desire to deal with some of the members of the community had dropped dramatically and obviously their appreciation of me had also.
I still have not fully decided on how to open the program up so selected, trusted developers could contribute changes and control the situation. There are several proprietary packages that cannot be passed around and likely would need to be replaced. The charges of the program will be removed when I can get this worked out (as well as the licensing).

I asked Neal that very question. He's not interested in open sourcing it,
providing the source code, or selling it. Which is unfortunate given its
continued popularity, quality, and obvious zero (or very low) sales. But
it's Neal's to do what he wants (or doesn't want) with it. 

At some point, we're all going to have to move on as the program dies a slow
death because of issues like this. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Lou, W0FK

IIRC, when Neal bought DXBase, he
offered the latest version at a
steep discount and the promise
of the next update would be free
to all purchasers.

That being so, it does diminish
one's incentive to issue an update.

I suggest we forgive and abjure that
promise. That would replace the
incentive.

What say you all ?

I?ve reached that point. Almost all my DX buddies here are using DX4WIN and
I guess it is time for me to migrate to a program that still has active
updates. While I will miss Joe as our resident guru, I understand that A1DC
performs in a similar role for dx4win.
73 and good luck on getting Neal to do anything positive.

I believe it's Access 98.? I have a not quite so old Access 2000 and it gives a 
warning about opening a DXBase .mdb.?? That said, I discovered years ago that if 
I have both programs open on the same database I can make changes to it in 
Access and the changes ripple through to DXBase.?? Helpful for Search and 
Replace and such.? Otherwise not so much.

I don't recall a deep discount, I just remember the promise that if I upgraded 
to 2007 (I'd paid Jack for many earlier annual upgrades) I would be entitled to 
a new, modern version.

Hi all
forget DXbase! I was an user since the time of Dos but I moved to Logger32
already many years ago: it is updated every 15 days and it's free! I'm
sorry for Jack AA4LU but the DXbase died many years ago?

About two years ago I decided to leave DXBase but stay in the background 
and watch to see if Neal ever shows signs of upgrading DXBase.? I 
migrated to DXLab a free logging program with free updates.? This 
program is worth looking into as it is? very comprehensive and has I 
believe more features than DXBase.? Let me say that I went with DXBase 
when it first came out in DOS.? I will never understand why an 
individual would purchase such? great software and then just sit by and 
let it die a slow death.? Without Joe's love of the program it would 
have died years ago.

73, Pete, N4KW

There are several proprietary packages that cannot be passed around and likely would need to be replaced. The charges of the program will be removed when I can get this worked out (as well as the licensing).

Subject: [Dxbase] ADIF "Alleged" Standard
Message-ID: <CAC5FBO8TzGOc1hprkn=j_Cqtv_KKL9i_rZfMGmG_dr-TRJbUXg@mail.gmail.com>

I though the ADIF standard
was supposed to be just that,
a Standard. If you change the
Format and don't provide a
method to update existing
programs, it's no longer a
Standard.

For example, I created an ADIF
file from ny DXBase Log. I then
imported it into both DX4WIN and
Logger32.

DX4WIN reported 284 "errors"
and Logger32 reported 104 "errors".

Still trying to access the "error" files
to see what they report as "errors".

Hi
I had abt 60.000 qso when import To Logger32 And I remember about 100
errors also. most were Counties errors because DXBASE had different names.
editing the BAD.TXT with Notepad and importing the FIXED.TXT everything has
been solved. Now abt 100.000 qso And happy Logger32 user ?

Just adding "OQRS" to the "QSL Via" would wipe out the "the promise of the next upgrade would be free" for me.  It has been so long ago, I did not even remember that.


And also making it where it does not auto-populate the "QSL Via" fields with past information.  Just because I QSLed a station direct last year, does not mean the QSO I completed 15 seconds ago should also be marked "Direct" or any of the other choices, it should default to "None" until manually updated.

At least in theory, they are up to rev3+ of ADIF, and all NEW versions are supposed to be upward compatible, aka Rev3 should be able to read rev 2 and 1, if the devs do their job anyway (aka properly support the standard)

The issues are 
1)are you feeding a newer version of the spec to a program that expects an older version 
2)how good a job did the developer do of implementing the standard. That isn't the STANDARDS fault, but the fault of the developer (said as a developer)

Done RIGHT, the developers should say "we import ADIF up to version X", and they SHOULD be able to export in say ADIF1, 2 and 3, as requested, in case who you are sending to can't understand say ADIF 3

Message-ID: <6996b096-8787-82f8-b049-bd762e72b648@bellsouth.net>

I was uploading my QSOs from an installation on a laptop that I normally 
use.? I have the program on three other computers, back them up 
regularly, etc.? In any event, I had to do an upload from computer #2 
vs. the primary as I inadvertently deleted my TQSL program on the 
primary machine.? It didn't work out very well.? I guess you have to 
stick with the same program to do your uploads as your other program, 
computer #2, doesn't know where you are in terms what has been uploaded 
and what hasn't.

I finally went back to program #1, created an ADIF file on a thumb drive 
and uploaded to LOTW.? That worked.

I wonder if there is a way to sync up your different installations so 
they emulate each other if this happens to come up again.? Right now, I 
am simply transferring my MDB and Ref Data files to the other installs.

Kind regards....Happy New Year

Steve

Use Cloud storage like DropBox

Then you have one and the same log whereever you log into DXbase

Been doing that for some years and it was very handy when I had 2 shacks 
on different continents!

The bonus is you get a permanent backup of your log

I'm finding that after a while my Internet Packet windows is losing it's 
connection and I have to restart it. The Keep Alive timer is set for 15 
min. I've shortened that to 10 min, but I'm not convinced that's the 
problem I'm seeing. When this happens, I simply see lines of "Keep Alive 
Sent" (or something like that). If I check the connection with a SH/DX, 
nothing happens, so I know the connection is no longer active.? This has 
happened from time to time in the past, but it's getting more frequent 
and annoying. What else might I set on my end to keep the connection 
from being dropped or simply becoming what amounts to dormant? I've been 
using the W4NJA node, so I suppose it's also possible the problem is on 
that end,? someplace.

This is a common occurrence.  Mine has been doing this for years. Sometimes it will stay connected for a month and sometimes it will disconnect every day.  I have tried changing to a different node but it hasn't helped. I just have accepted that it is "one of those things."  I only seems to happen when I am not in the room....hmmm.  Let us know if you figure it out.

This is a recurring problem.? No one seems able to solve the cause of 
it, but it has been mentioned on the reflector several times in the 
past.? I have a very fast internet connection and use the VE7CC cluster 
and it happens to me from time to time.? No rime or reason just random 
disconnects.? I thought that it only happens during a contest when there 
are a lot of spots, but it even happens on very slow days.? I don't 
think that anyone has a solution.

 Kim,
This has been a "bug" in DXBase for years; the one sure fix is to download? VE7CC??www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/Ver3/V3Help.htm? ?Get that up and running and then connect DXBase to it.
Once you have it up and running, in the Config tab, go to Ports/logging program.? Set the node to Telnet. In the top middle, check "Enable Telnet".? In "data sent to logging program, I have all checkedbut two of them? (DX Tab format for live spots and DX Orginators QTH.? Also have the Dat sent to cluster checked to Ignore BYE from loging program.? Make sure you fill in user information (just leave Usual
DX Cluster blank (you are using VE7CC-1)..
IN DXBase in the Internet window, set IP Host to 127.0.0.1:7300#localhost CC User? ? That should be in the list of hosts,? just scowl down to it.? In the interface block in the same window, I haveConnect Interface at program startup checkied, and keep alive timer checked and set to 15 mins.? Other checks are up to you.
Never had a disconnect since I started using it.
Good luck,
Dick, K8ZTT?

I use AR-USER V3.0241 interface to VE7CC and AE5E as a dual connect.  It 
assigns different client identifiers (W4DXX-1, W4DXX-2, etc) to each 
connection so the call doesn?t show up as identical to two different nodes. 
DxBase then connects to it using the local port 127.0.0.1.  The "Keep Alive" 
in Dxbase is set at default of 15 mins.  I almost never lose connection 
unless something happens on the nodes end or the WAN internet connection 
itself.

One other important thing, make sure in Device Manager that your Network 
Adapter's Power Management is NOT set to go to sleep to save power.  I think 
most Windows installations actually turn this ON, so you have to turn it 
off.  This depends on your power management scheme that is selected but make 
sure you turn it OFF, and, if you change schemes, like on a laptop, check it 
to make sure it is OFF in each scheme you use DxBase with.   Just a FYI....

Same here Bruce.  I can stay connected to the W4NJA node for days with no issues.


Kim, it might be worth switching for a test.

An FYI for everyone: Larry Strasser suggested I set the "Keep Alive" 
timer to 3 min instead of the default 15 min. During a period of about 5 
h using the 15 min interval, I had three disconnects. Around 4 PM I set 
the keep alive timer to 3 min and let everything run overnight 
(something I never do). DXBase has remained connected to the the 
Internet Cluster I've been using (W4NJA) overnight and is still active.

HNY,

My suspicion is that possibly some cluster types or firewalls at the cluster are trapping the keep alive message. DXB is just sending a carriage return Line feed when the timer expires. In Spot (my Mac cluster client) I send sh/time so it actually has a real command to process. I have made this change to the version currently under development and will see if it makes any difference.

3 minuted usually suffices.

Is there a way to include (add) FT8 under TOOL/OPTIONS/USER

That way it will show up in LoTW (via tQSL) as correct DIGI submode ?

Someone please double check me on this -


Here's how I remember doing it:


Tools|Database Access|Digital Mode Names - the last one on the list -

then click on the first box to the right of "Digital Modes" to add a new mode to the list. (enter FT8) and close out of drop down.


When entering a new FT8 QSO into DXBase, the first mode entry is "Digital" and then the Sub Mode to select is "FT8".

Works well for me and I have many confirmed FT8 QSOs in LoTW.

---------------------- My Problem with this mode ------------------

I can't get the signal report columns to accept a "-" in front of the db number I am entering. For example if I want to enter

a "-09" for a signal report, it comes out as "09". Anyone know how to do this?


Hope this helps! 73 and Happy New Year


Rod/w7zrc

Using DXBASE v.1.10

Is there a way to include (add) FT8 under TOOL/OPTIONS/USER
OPTIONS/DEFAULT PSK SUBMODE ?

That way it will show up in LoTW (via tQSL) as correct DIGI submode ?

Happy New Year to everyone.

It appears once you have edited the file I mentioned and you can also 
log FT8 under mode "DATA" and select from, SUBMODE

Wow Rod I have used DXbase since about 1985 and never spotted that menu 
before!

I used to have this problem when I connected to my node via DXB. 
However, when I began using CCUSER, the problem went away.? I got an 
explanation several years ago as to what was causing this but can't 
recall exactly.? At one point, it had something to do with a router I 
was using.? In any case, I'm going direct from Comcast to my computer 
via CCUSER and I rarely, rarely, see a disconnect.

Steve, N4JQQ
