Hi--

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

The progress forms do not update unless State is logged in the spot log. Look in the state column. If there is no state, it will not work.

To make it log state, set up the callbook to auto lookup. Now, when you log a stateside QSO, the state will be looked up and progress 1 & 2 and the Info form will update. INCORRECT. See post 5/13/22

Tnx & 73,

Yes, correct. The Spot Log will get the state from the callbook. Use the QRZ Subscription. Don't use QRZ.COM -- the ads are too much to deal with. If you don't have QRZ Subscription, use the built-in PDA callbook. It is instantaneous.

INCORRECT. See post 5/13/22

Now, when you click on a spot, the state will show up in progress 1 or 2.

Tnx & 73,

Hi Bob, hope you are well !!

A single click on the spot will show State Progress as long as the Spot actually included a State. In the Spot Log window navigate to see the State column, if it has a state in that field then a single click on the Spot will show progress for State. See attached example that shows the result of a single click on the spot, at the far right of the spot log window is the state column in this case its showing NH and the Progress for State window shows the award progress for NH. A single click will NOT launch a Callbook look-up.

Hope that helps,

LOGic's spot log will only get the state from the built-in callbook database. It will not get it from the comment area of the spot.

I gave incorrect info on callbook lookup of state in my previous posts. That actually is incorrect. I apologize. It gets it directly from the built-in PDA callbook. It doesn't matter if the callbook is turned on or not. Just populate the PDA callbook with tools/internet/import FCC USA (K) callbook. It will work now.

Where did the above spots come from? If I can figure out the format. Is this just for FT8 spots? Is it included with all FT8 spots? If I look for the two letters before 1234Z and they are not Hz, can I assume it is a state? Of course, I would check to make sure it is a valid state.

This is going to be easier said than done.

I logged into dxc.ve7cc.net and entered
SET/USSTATE

I get states, sure enough:

DX de N5CM: 50073.10 N0KP/B EN35 Em31 MN 2111Z LA
DX de TK4TH: 28516.00 KP4BHC PR 2112Z
DX de SP7SQM: 21008.00 VE2CSI TNX QC 2112Z
DX de N1PGA: 14272.80 DJ7ST 2112Z MA
DX de JA6GGD-7: 10113.00 9K2MU cq .. /569 qsb 2113Z
DX de K0PV: 50125.00 K4TO DM99DI<ES>EM77 KY 2113Z KS
DX de G4NBS: 432106.30 G8PNN/P jo02af<tr> IO95AF 2113Z
DX de SP7SQM: 21014.00 KP2M VI 2114Z
DX de W3CV: 21013.90 KP2M VI 2115Z MD

But this is a lot different than what you get. The state before the time is the state of the station being spotted, and the state after the time is the state of the station doing the spotting.

For yours, it looks like the state before the time is of the station being spotted. So at least that much is consistent....

I can try grabbing the two space-delimited characters before the time and if they are a valid state.... I can make sure they are upper-case. But it won't be foolproof. If one DX station spotting another puts a two-letter state at the end of their comment, it will take it as a state. I guess I could check the callsign to see if it is US.

I wish someone would start sending spots as an ADIF or even a JSON string.

I added this to the new 10.0.7 update. LOGic now checks the spot comment then the callbook to get the states.

Check it out!

Thanks & 73,
