[LOGic] DXCC- Band & Mode Totals Spreadsheet

Anthony:

Thank you! This is a great addition to use with Logic! I too have to do some
editing and corrections as Bob stated, but that can be done over time. I
also found some strange characters when making the CSV file. One additional
quirk I am seeing is that a QSO logged in the FM mode is being listed as CW
when the calculations are done. This probably will not mean much since the
majority of these here are on 2M, with only a few on 6 and 10M. 

Again, thanks for a great utility.

Hi Anthony and the group,

Yeah!!  Now it is working for me tool!  This is really super.  Thanks so
much.

Some notes;

Many of my stateside contacts do not have State or zone information, and
fix_stuff has no way of figuring this out.  May be further complicated
if those hams moved (like me) to new QTH's (I'm back in warm, sunny New
England now HI).  Nice rainy day task.

When converting to a CSV file using the LOGic 8 report log export
function, my file (40K plus Q's) containing about 40 rows starting with
"strange characters".  Easily edited out.  Will have to look closer at
LOG.DBF file to see if these are real for some reason.

The Top 50 DX ranking may need some tweaking.  In my DXCC spreadsheet, I
have 2414 Q's with DL and 1806 Q's with UA.  But, the STATS ranking
lists UA as #1 and DL is not listed at all.

Now to enjoy all the new data!

Hope this helps.

Anthony, Thanks again es 73.

Bob

Bob and others out there.
Well when I fixed items in version 2, I broke the modes table.
I have fixed the problem and reloaded the file to my site.
Download the new one and I think it will finally work properly.
Let me know if you have any problems
