[Logic] Identifying LoTW Contacts in LOGic ???

2003年9月12日 13:55:40 -0400

Art, good idea using a user field called "LOTW", (might want to make another for "eQSL" also)
as a temporary solution. I would like to see it built into LOGic in a latter release. (hope
this doesn't give Dennis gray hair) Hi.
In both cases all you will need is a true/false indication as I said in my original post.
As far as the "Awards Report" goes, why limit yourself to just DCXX ?
DXCC is the first award the League is going to implement. WAS and VUCC will soon follow.
The League has also left the door partially open to use by other Awards Programs in the future
depending on what Non-ARRL programs want to participate.
When I look at the "Awards Progress List", I don't see why on the third line where it say
Fulfilled (confirmed) it couldn't be expanded to:
Fulfilled (confirmed)
 Paper NNN
 LoTW NNN
 eQSL NNN
I think that this should hold true for ANY award that you are tracking like IOTA, VE PROV, etc.
A QSO is a QSO and confirmation is confirmation. It is up to the Award Sponsor to determine
what he is going to accept. LOGic is a Database of our progress and should be capable of
reporting out all data and let the user make his own decisions how it is used.
My thoughts for now, eagerly awaiting 9/15/03
