All works fine. but I wonder if there is a way to select only those QSO's since my last update? I have about 90,000 Q's in my log, and it takes a bit of time to run everything.

This version will give you the chance to manually type-in the beginning date of the QSOs you want to upload to Clublog. DXbase2007 does not have a field that can be tested for whether you have uploaded the QSO to Clublog (unlike LOTW). But, IF you KNOW the date that you last uploaded to ClubLog - then you can manually type that date into the new version of the report. Hope that this will help you out.. More to you in a minute.

Message-ID: There really needs to be several more choices besides just OQRS. Example: OQRS Direct, OQRS Buro, Manager Buro, etc. I brought this up at some point, perhaps to Joe WA6AXE. I will try to find that. The only thing I use DXBase 2007 for is the qsling/award tracking functions. It would also be nice to "index" on certain columns that are not available. I spend enormous amounts of time researching my qsling and awards. This can be seen by my Statistics listing on my QRZ page. Indexing on those columns alone would save a great deal of time and paper or trying to find the correct "report" to show what you want listed. 73, Joe WL7E On Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 6:33 AM, Paul Smith wrote: > The other options that are currently available in the drop down need to > remain there Neal.

I will be updating my MDB CHECKER program and will send out another email when I am done -- but, since these TWO DELETIONS are really very straight-forward in what the DXbase2007 user has to do ..

Then scrolldown a bit further and find KH7K and make a CHECKMARK under the DELETED column. Click-on another entity to SAVE the modification.. THAT IS IT!!! Nothing you have to do with your Logbook mdb file... You are now done with the updates.. ---------------- HERE are the words from the ARRL website-------------------- Midway and Kure Islands are Now Deleted DXCC Entities 03/31/2017 Midway and Kure Islands have been placed on the list of DXCC deleted entities, effective August 26, 2016. This came about as an unintended consequence of action last summer by then-President Barack Obama that expanded the Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument to include the northwestern Hawaiian Islands west of Ni?ihau Island, making it the largest contiguous protected conservation area under the US flag. Midway (KH4) had qualified for DXCC status by virtue of its being governed by a separate administration. Because it is now under the administration of Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument, however, it becomes a deleted entity. Approximately 50 people live on Midway, including US Fish and Wildlife Service staffers and contractors. The Battle of Midway, a turning point in the Allied World War II Pacific Campaign, took place in June 1942. Now uninhabited, Kure Island (KH7K), a part of Hawaii, is separated from the rest of the state by Midway; because of that, it qualified for DXCC status under Section II, 2 (b) (iii) of the DXCC Rules ? separation from its ?parent? Hawaii. Midway Island?s change in DXCC status in turn made Kure Island no longer eligible for DXCC status, since Kure no longer is separated from the rest of Hawaii by intervening land or islands that are part of another DXCC entity. Kure Island once was home to a US Coast Guard LORAN station, remnants of which are still evident. It has been a state wildlife sanctuary since 1981. The relevant parts of Section II of the DXCC Rules follow: A Geographic Separation Entity may result when a single Political Entity is physically separated into two or more parts. The part of such a Political Entity that contains the capital city is considered the Parent for tests under these criteria. One or more of the remaining parts resulting from the separation may then qualify for separate status as a DXCC Entity if they satisfy paragraph a) or b) of the Geographic Separation Criteria, as follows. b) Island Areas (Separation by Water): A new entity results in the case of an island under any of the following conditions: iii) The island is separated from its Parent by intervening land or islands that are part of another DXCC entity, such that a line drawn along a great circle in any direction, from any part of the island, does not touch the Parent before touching the intervening DXCC entity. There is no minimum separation distance for the first island entity created under this rule. Additional island entities may be created under this rule, provided that they are similarly separated from the Parent by a different DXCC entity and separated from any other islands associated with the Parent by at least 800 km. Neither Midway nor Kure was able to be activated without prior permission and only for a planned DXpedition. Only contacts made on August 25, 2016, or earlier will count for these two entities. --------------------- JUST FYI to all DXbase users. 73, Joe WA6AXE Joseph Glockner wa6axe at verizon.net From crownhaven at bellsouth.net Fri Mar 31 23:08:14 2017 From: crownhaven at bellsouth.net (Crownhaven) Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 22:08:14 -0500 Subject: [Dxbase] From the ARRL website -- KH4 (Midway) and KH7K (Kure) are now DELETED entities In-Reply-To: <15b27250d4d-21de-6ad2@webprd-m97.mail.aol.com> References: <15b27250d4d-21de-6ad2@webprd-m97.mail.aol.com> Message-ID: <23c20d70-3a8a-7eff-2684-fa989c2ca262@bellsouth.net> Joe, thanks.
