[Dx-qsl] Pathfinder DX cluster

Tue Jan 4 22:30:04 EST 2005

With respect to the locally-installed version of Pathfinder, you can edit
the search assigned to any button by depressing* the CTRL key while clicking
that button. Don't forget to click Save after making your changes.
The next time you run the locally-installed version of Pathfinder, it will
offer to download the file DXS05.txt, which contains a search of the DX
Summit spot archives for the year 2005. You can assign this search to any
button; refer to the online help for instructions. Pathfinder also provides
a generic DX Summit spot database search where you specify the year via a
selector in the upper left corner. Unlike the Pathfinder Web Client, the
locally-installed version automatically added 2005 to this selector the next
time you ran Pathfinder after New Year UTC.
For those not familiar with Pathfinder, it's a free utility that lets you
key in a callsign once and then search web sites for QSL information with a
few mouse clicks. Pathfinder is aware of more than 100 country-specific
web-accessible callbooks; if one is available for the specified callsign,
you can invoke it with a mouse click. The Pathfinder web client requires no
software installation; its accessible via
http://www.qsl.net/pathfinder/WebClient/ . The locally-installed version of
Pathfinder allows you configure its 12 search buttons to invoke any of 150
web-based sources of QSL information; its available via
http://www.qsl.net/pathfinder/.
Pathfinder interoperates with other members of the freeware DXLab Suite, a
set of eight applications designed to assist the DXer; these applications
can be run independently, but when run simultaneously will sense each
other's presence and interoperate accordingly. See http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/
for additional information, access to online documentation, and downloading
instructions.

Try refreshing the screen. I just checked the web version, and it came up
with 2005.
If you're using the locally installed version, you need to reprogram the
DXSummit button to change 2004 to 2005. Off the top of my head, I think
it's ALT-F12 to do so, but the help screen should have that info.
