Jack,
It was nice to meet you at Dayton. I had a good time & only bought one
radio. Before the Hamfest I used LoTW to receive credit for 22 band
countries and had over 130 cards checked at the hamfest.
After using DXBase and LoTW, I think for the next version of DXBase, it
would be nice if the DXCC award output had the following feature.
This is in the window for OUTPUT/AWARDS/DXCC. Select QSL log & Both for
Cards and LoTW. Also select Exclude Past Submissions. The new feature
would be in the QSO Form. Add colors to show which entries are for Cards
and which are for LoTW. The cards would stay black. The LoTW entries would
be dark blue or some other color. An alternative to this would be to add a
column to the right that has L in it for LoTW and blank for Cards.
This feature would make it easy to see which entries are for Cards and
which are for LoTW.
Someone may say you can do the same thing by selecting Cards only or LoTW
only, but that is not the case. When selecting Cards only and Exclude Past
Submissions. Past submissions with LoTW are not excluded. The same is true
when selecting LoTW only, the past cards submitted are not excluded.
Thanks
