[South Florida DX Association] New DX Lab Feature

[Norman Alexander]

Most of us who chase DX I think on occasion thought that responding or calling 
the DX in their language could help in getting through the pile up.  Or once in 
QSO that it would be nice to make comment in the DX's native language.  I used 
to have a book with "common phrases" for the DXer to assist in this endeavor, 
but it is never handy it seems when I could use it.  There is a novel solution 
available. 


I am also guessing that most of us are now using computer logging - and there 
are a variety of those programs available.  A new feature to the application I 
use DXLAB Suite is a Translation file/data base.  The following is an excerpt 
from the program author Dave AA6YQ follows-

---"DXView is a component of the free-ware DXLab Suite. -- (one of eight 
modules)

"I have extended DXView to serve as a Universal Translator by equipping  it with 
a Translation database that knows ~50 DXing words and phrases in  68 languages. 
Type in or double-click a callsign, and DXView's  Translation window will 
display the words and phrases you employ most  frequently in each of the 
languages used in that callsign's DXCC entity.  Here's what my Translation 
window looks like after activating a Vatican  callsign:"---

 Interestingly enough you don't have to use DXLab's logging program to use this 
feature as the various modules can be individually opened and used.  These 
translations can be propagated into the RTTY/PSK application WINWARBLER.  


Try it, you may find it useful -
