Worked Zones

Shortcut: ALT+Z

Zones.png

Worked zones window.

The title of this menu item will fit to the chosen contest.
The window displays the worked multipliers (in blue) or not (in white) on the current band, and possibly the current mode.

Zones ab.png

Also ff the contest is multi-bands and/or multi-modes, you can display the distribution of these multipliers by band (and/or mode).
To change to by band, right mouse click on the zones window for the context menu and select all bands.

Zones rc.png

Right mouse click on the zones window for the context menu.
Zones window can be copied as an image to save for later use or paste into an email from the context menu.

Worked DXCC

Shortcut: ALT+M

File:Dxcc.png

If one DXCC country has been worked on a band (possibly a mode), this band will be displayed in blue, otherwise it remains in white. This window is resizeable.

Continents are selected from the radio buttons at the top of the screen.
All the data included in this window can be copied as a text file, and pasted in
text or directly in an OpenOffice spreadsheet, for a later analysis from he right mouse click context menu.

DXCC expected and spotted information is also available on this window.
The colors used for this information are selectable on the right click context menu Colors.

Dxcc rc.png

Worked gridsquares

Shortcut: ALT+L

Note: this selection will only be available if the current contest uses Gridsquares as multipliers.

Gridsquare map.png

Right click on the map and select Properties to open the settings form:

Gridsquare map properties.png

This form allows customization for your particular area and contest.

Check callsign

Shortcut: F9

Band check.png

This window displays a checkmark if and on which bands a specific callsign has been logged before.
Depending on the type of the contest, the display may show more than one column to display the different possible modes.

Check multipliers

Shortcut: F10

Check mult.png

When a callsign or country prefix is entered in main logging window this window will indicate whether this multiplier has
been worked or not on the current (highlighted by a blue line) or other bands (and in other modes if the contest rules permit).
If the callsign entered has been worked on other bands, DXlog.net displays those QSOs.
Otherwise, the callsign of the first station worked in that multiplier on that band is displayed, if any.

Additional information about the multiplier is displayed at the bottom:
The official country prefix and country name.
The short (Az) and long path (Lp) beam headings (azimuths) to this multiplier (based on the station locator entered in the Contest configuration screen)
The sunrise (SR) and sunset (SS) time in this country, expressed as UTC (suffixed by a lowercase "z").
These times are computed from the geographical coordinates given taken from the CTY* file or your QTH locator, if specified in the setup dialog.

The display of the additional information is controlled by Tools-Data Entry-Exchange Guessing

  • Pressing the space bar - information will be displayed when you press the spacebar.
  • Automatically - Information will be displayed while you are typing the call-sign.
  • After timeout - information will be displayed automatically after few seconds of filling in the call-sign field.

Check partials

Shortcut: F12

Check part.png

Check partial callsign search window, When at least 3 characters are entered in the log call entry
field, DXlog.net Check Partial looks in the master database for the callsigns including the 3-character string.

In the above example M0C was entered into the log call entry field and the Check Partial database search
found all the callsigns with the 3 characters in that order and displayed those.

A callsign can be moved to the log call entry field by double clicking on the callsign in the Check Partial window.
White callsigns are those not yet in the log, green callsigns are stations worked on another band,
but not the current band and red callsigns are dupes.

Check part rc1.png

Right mouse click on the window shows the context menu.
Search can be activated after 2 characters entered into the log call entry field by ticking the option in the context menu.
Search can be limited to the current log data only by ticking the "in log only" option in the context menu.
Show data from prefil database option will pull the relevant data from the prefil database and display next
to the callsign in (), this is useful for VHF / UHF contests and locator squares

Check part pfd.png

Check N+1

Shortcut: F8

N+1.png

N+1 window, when at least 3 characters are entered in the log call entry field, DXlog.net
looks in the master database for callsigns differing from the partial callsign by one character.
N+1 also detects a 2-character swap (dyslexia), as well as one missing character.
A callsign can be moved to the log call entry field by double clicking on the callsign in the Check Partial window.
White callsigns are those not yet in the log, green callsigns are stations worked on another
band, but not the current band, and red callsigns are dupes.

Your own station is displayed in a deep blue background.
The active radio of each station has its frequency in red characters.
A double left click on a station name will display the chat ("Gab") dialog with this station name as the preselected destination.
A double left click on your own station name will display the chat ("Gab") dialog with ALL as the preselected destination.
A double left click on a valid frequency will set VFO A of radio 1 to this frequency.
(From 2.4.9)

Open the context menu by right mouse clicking in the window.

Status rc.png

The Station ID may be changed in Options -> Configure Network even if networking is disabled.

QSY Wizard

The QSY Wizard can only be used if HamCAP is installed and running. You must also have Options | HamCAP | Tab set to Charts.
After entering a callsign into the log callsign entry field, pressing Ctrl-P will bring up the HamCAP window with a propagation
prediction to this station. Then, the QSY Wizard will display the bands on which to which a QSY or sked may be useful.

Qsy wiz.png Qsy wiz hamcap.png

In the above example ZS6TX has been worked on 20m. After pressing Ctrl-P the wizard tells us that a QSY may be promising on 15m.
For 10, 40, 60, 160m however, the wizard recommends a sked time instead. This is the peak time predicted by HamCap for this path,
hovering the mouse cursor over the yellow square on the Hamcap chart will give more information including the MUF and signal elevation etc.
Each band line is shown in a different color if the multiplier is needed on the band. The colors are selectable on the right click context menu Colors.
If a multiplier station is available on the band, the line will be marked with a different color. Clicking on a band line brings
up the Pass A Station window filtered on the clicked band. This action can be enabled/disabled checking/unchecking the
Options->Networking->Show QSY notification in QSY Wizard option.

Extra Information

File:Extra info window.png

The Extra Information window displays information contained in a text file based on the call entered in the
log callsign entry field. Files should be named with the .xdt file extension.

The format of the Extra information file is:

#TITLE Name of info
K6MR Ken 1270 CA (typical data line)

The text on the #TITLE line will be shown on the header line.
If the #TITLE line is omitted, the complete path and filename will be shown.
Data lines (one per call) begin with the call sign and a single space.
Any information present after the first space will be shown exactly as formatted in the file.
Multiple files may be opened at the same time to show data from different sources.

  • To add a file - Right mouse click in the extra information window and select "Extra data files".
Click 'Add' and select the file from the file selection form.
  • To remove a file - Right mouse click in the extra information window and select "Extra data files",
select the file to be removed, and click 'Remove'.

If a file is updated while open in the window, right click and select "Reload files" to use the new data.

Partner

Partner.png

This feature is especially useful in a Multi-OP environment when facing large pile-ups and/or weak signals.
Set up an additional operator, as support with an additional computer which has the same version of DXlog.net installed.
Connect a pair of headphones to the same receiver as the operator, then on both comptuers open up the Partner window,
on the partner computer enter the same band and mode as the run station.

Networking needs to be enabled on all stations.

The running operator continues as before, working the callsign he hears.
The support operator listens at the same time and tries to copy additional callsigns from the pile-up
by entering the callsign on the QSO entry field and then pressing Alt-Enter.
This callsign will now be displayed in the Partner Window stack for the running operator to use as his next contact.
The Partner window can hold up to 9 callsigns, and theses calls can be pulled into the callsign field with Alt-(1-9).
Once the QSO is logged, that callsign will disappear from both partner windows.
The Partner can remove a callsign if incorrect or no longer valid using Alt-(1-9).
A field in the partner window can be overwritten by a new entry by pressing Ctrl-(1-9).

Partner window use in RTTY
The Partner window is also useful when used in a RTTY environment.
In addition to using the Ctrl-(1-9) and Alt-(1-9) keys as previously noted, calls may be entered into
the stack by selecting a call in the rtty receive window using the mouse pointer.
Two callsign selection methods are available:

1. Alt-LeftClick (left mouse click while holding down the Alt key)
2. MiddleClick (a scroll wheel click on most mice)

Subsequent selections in the rtty receive window will populate the next empty line in the Partner window.
To place calls from the Partner window stack into the active QSO line, the $GRABPARTNER variable is used in a macro message to
grab the first call from the Partner window stack.
Typically this can be used in a special TU message to confirm the current QSO,
enter the next call, and send the report:

e.g. $13 $CORRECT TU $GRABPARTNER NOW $LOGGEDCALL $F2 $CR

Multi Partners and real time updates
Partnercont.png

The partner window can be made to update in real time, right click on the window and select real time > enabled, this will give an
additional line at the top of the window that will auto fill as the partner station enters the callsign into the partner log entry field.

The options for real time are for the runner or the partner, as the runner you can have a live entry field that is 1, 2 or 3 slots long.
As the partner you can select to post into either of the 3 slots, this gives the option of upto 3 additional partners each with a specific
line to live update as the callsign is typed into the partners local log.

Partner window use for M2
For M2 stations the station type - partner is greyed out, each station can have upto 3 partners, the partner window should be set to real
time and the partner stations on the same band and mode as the run station, Networking needs to be enabled on all stations.

No Band / Mode Filter option
This option if ticked will display all callsigns entered from support stations irrespective of the DXLog.net band or mode, this should be used with caution.

Radio/Ant status window

File:Radio ant status.png

Radio/Ant status info window If you are using a MK2R/MK2R+/u2R, OTRSP device or LPT port to control your antenna selection, this window will show the status of that interface.
The antenna names, select codes, and band selection must be set up using the appropriate configuration page:

MK2R/MK2R+/u2R: Options->MK2R/MK2R+/u2R configuration.
OTRSP: Options->OTRSP device configuration.
LPT: Options->Configure interfaces->Printer port Setup.

If you wish to select a different antenna between RX and TX this must be enabled using:

Options->Interface specific options->Allow different RX/TX antenna

Note: Separate RX/TX antenna selection is not available when using the LPT port.
Only antennas defined for the band that is active on each radio will be shown.
The selected antenna on each radio will be highlighted. When changing bands, the antenna defined first (for that band) on the interface will be selected.

There are two methods of selecting an antenna:

1. Alt-F11 (RX Ant) and Alt-F12 (TX Ant). If the separate RX/TX antennas option is not enabled, either key combination will select both the RX and TX antenna.
2. Select the antenna by clicking on the required antenna in the Radio/Ant status window using the mouse.

Note: the separate RX/TX antenna selection will only work when DXLog.net is controlling RX/TX switching, such as when it is sending messages.
To enable RX/TX antenna switching when keying manually you must provide a PTT signal to enable RX/TX antenna switching.

Antenna Rotor R1/R2

Rotatorr1.png

The antenna rotor window R1 and R2 links with any external rotator software that uses UDP messages for AZ direction required / reports current direction
The window takes the information from the rotator configuration window for band, rotator, IP address and UDP port of the rotator server.
The windows link nicely with PSTrotator, in PSTrotator the UDP control setup must be set to the same UDP port as the rotator in DXL for the relevant band
UDP control must be enabled in PSTrotator, then when a band is selected that has a rotator in the rotator onfiguration the window will show the AZ for that antenna
Turn the rotator by either inserting a prefix, or AZ in degrees into the log entry line and press [CTRL][F12] for SP or [ALT][F12] for LP.

Rotatorr1op.png

Right click on the window to access the context menu, the menu has turn antenna to - with a list of basic directions.
Also the turn SP / LP as per the keyboard shortcuts.

Radio information displaying VFO A and VFO B frequency information.
Single click on VFOA or VFOB to change focus to this VFO.

The Band map tab shows radio band in focus and any DX Cluster received or locally
entered callsigns plus other optional information.
Callsigns preceeded by bullets are skimmer spots. Callsigns preceeded by a plus sign are manual spots.
Callsigns preceeded by a star contain split ("QSX") information.

The List tab shows a list of call signs which can be sorted in various ways.

Colours are: RED = Double Multiplier, GREEN = Multiplier, Black = Unworked, GREY Italics= Worked
Information below the horizontal divider is available multiplier numbers, available QSO count, and points available.

Double clicking on a callsign sets the focused radio VFO to that frequency and mode
(including split if such information is provided in the spot comment) and puts the callsign
into the log callsign field. This can be changed to a single click by
selecting the enable single click selection from the context menu.

Double clicking while holding down [Alt] will grab the spot to the other VFO.
If the option Operating->Band map->QSY other radio instead of 2nd VFO
is checked, the spot is grabbed to other radio.

Double clicking while holding down [Ctrl] will erase the spot.

Context Menu A right click anywhere in the band map will bring up the context menu.
Band map options are changed by selecting the appropriate menu.

Bandmap context menu.png

Most menu picks are self explanatory.

Show from higher to lower frequency The default band map display is to show lower
frequencies at the top, higher frequencies at the bottom.
As you tune up the band, the band map will move up as the cursor points to a higher frequency.
If you would prefer that the band map show higher frequencies at the top (with resulting
movement down as you tune up the band), check this option.
This option may be changed at any time and the band map will redraw automatically.

Contest Recorder

Contest recorder.jpg

The contest recorder allows you to record both main and sub VFO audio for the whole contest in MP3 format onto your PC hard disc.

If you want to record using DXLog, you have to download libmp3lame.dll win32 version from [1].
Win32dll.jpg
Note that the 64 Bit DLL version definitely does not work on Windows 7,8 or 10 64 Bit systems.

Extract the dowloaded archive file into DXLog.net installation folder.
For 32 bit Processors this is usually ..\Program Files\DXLog.net
For 64 bit processors this is usually ..\Program Files(x86)\DXLog.net

Before recording, see Options->MP3 config to set parameters which fits to your PC sound card setup.

Encoding rate is currently fixed to 32000 kHz, stereo, 96kbps which is more than adequate for good recordings with a reasonable file size.

Recording levels are set in the Windows Recording Devices of your PC, strongest signals should peak top yellow on the Contest Recorder bar graph display for best results.

To playback, select the qso in Dxlog you wish to hear, either by searching for the QSO number or manually using the up down arrows, then right click on the contest recorder and select PLAY QSO. For more playback options use the contest recorder right click context menu:-
