[DXBase] new User questions

2002年1月16日 19:34:12 -0500

Hi, As a new user of DXBase I had a few questions. If 
there is some online source of answers to these newbie 
questions let me know and I won't use up everyone's 
bandwidth.
1) I usually use DXsummit to get DX spots off the 
internet, can I use DXBase to retrieve these spots ? 
As far as I can tell u need to use packet sites and 
telnet connections etc etc but I am very unfamiliar 
with those.
2) In my old loging program ( LogIC 5 ) these was a 
report called "Cards needed" ie if you selected an 
award such as DXCC 10m this report would print out all 
the contact you had made with each country, but only 
for those countries which you did not already have 
marked as confirmed. The report would also show which 
of these contacts you had already sent a card to. I 
used it to define which cards I needed to send out to 
either get that new country or to ensure that after 6 
months I could QSL a new person in that country and 
make sure I'd get a card and confirm the country. Is 
there anything similar in DXBase ??
3)When logging, if two addresses come up in the QSL 
Info window I always want to use the CDROM address, is 
there anyway to make that default 'cause it appears 
that the choice always returns to DXbase. Or am I 
missing something and I really should want the dxbase 
address.
4) Does anyone have a walk thru of the QSL'ing process 
that I can read. For example, same I have just logged 
5 contacts, how do I get address and QSL ladels 
printed.
Thanks for everyones help
