Now, any clipboard text containing a DOUBLE carriage return + line feed (CRLFCRLF) is changed to CRLF only during PASTE. In earlier versions, when copying an address from e.g. QRZ.com, a number of seemingly empty lines would appear in Win-EQF's notepad. Now, the "empty" (CRLFCRLF) lines are gone and the QSL manager's address can be pasted directly into the notepad without manually removing the "empty" lines. 6. New functionality in AUTOMATIC/MANUAL logging (not operational in CONTEST mode); Alt-P invokes HamCAP (http://www.dxatlas.com), if installed, with propagation prediction between you and the DX station. Alt-D invokes DXAtlas (http://www.dxatlas.com), if installed, with a great circle line between you and the DX station's QTH. Alt-G invokes your web browser and Google Maps, centered on the DX station's QTH . Alt-X invokes EQFSHELL.BAT. Please refer to comments embedded in the EQFSHELL.BAT file for details. 7. In Win-EQF.INI, the GENERAL section now supports optional setting ConnectIonoProbe (set to ON or OFF). When set to ON, interaction with Ham CAP (see above) will also get the latest ionospheric conditions as provided by IonoProbe (http://www.dxatlas.com). 8. In the Contest menu, added menu item to open WA7BNM's contest calendar (or any other contest calendar - you can specify the URL in the Win-EQF.INI file, GENERAL section, KEY ContestCalendarURL). 9. The window close (X) button in the upper-right corner of the Win-EQF* window has been disabled. This ensures that Win-EQF* will (almost) always exit in a graceful way. To exit Win-EQF*, please select File > Exit (or simply press Alt-F to enter the "File" menu and then X to select "Exit"). 10. Minor changes to the IARU Region 1 bandplan file. Added bandplan file for Norway. 11. Printing of QSL labels, minor logic changes: - If nothing entered in the "MGR" field, labels will be printed as in earlier versions. - If "DCT" or "DIRECT" is entered in the "MGR" field, labels will contain callsign + "(DCT)". - If something else (manager callsign) entered in the "MGR" field, labels will contain callsign + "VIA" + manager callsign. In short: use the "MGR" field for either NOTHING, "DCT", "DIRECT" or MANAGER CALLSIGN. (Q: How about "direct QSL, but via manager"? A: Until further - you'll have to take care of that yourself). Additional whitespace inserted between "DATE" and "2WAY" on QSL labels. 12. LoTW user lookup, provided by GOWIN. Instantly know whether the station you're logging is a known LoTW user. Requires the GOWIN application and GOLIST data subscription (http://www.golist.net). 13. On QSL labels, modes "LSB" and "USB" are no longer replaced with "SSB" during printing. 14. Minor changes in a number of dialogs. 15. New Win-EQF* icon. 16. Added licensing/registration control. 17. Comprehensive FAQ placed in the SUPPORT section of the web site. 18. When EDITING an existing QSO, F9 now cycles between available values for QSL RECEIVED. The same logic is applied to F8 (QSL SENT). 19. "GOLIST Issue" is now shown as "GOLIST #" followed by four-digit issue number, previous versions were limited to three-digit issue numbers. 20. Fixed a minor bug related to the contents of the MODE field, when selecting a spot from the DX Cluster screen. 21. Fixed bug in screen repaint during EDIT QSO. 22. Fixed bug in contest mode, no overwrite of INFO and RATE fields with DXCC info and/or ZONE info. 23. Fixed bug which caused delayed update of bottom line (operator callsign) after selecting a different operator. 24. Fixed annoying bug when Ctrl-L/Ctrl-W used in conjunction with F3 Net/Roundtable. 25. Fixed bug in detailed logbook view if entering a non-existing QSO number to edit. 26. Fixed bug in contest mode, GOLIST data cluttering the multiplier screen. 27. Fixed bug in contest ASCII results print, date format now in accordance with user-selected preference. 28. Fixed bug in pulldown menu system. 29. Fixed screen repaint bug when exiting to the command line. 30. Changed appearance of user notification of existing NOTEPAD entry when in EDIT mode. 31. Minor updates to PREFIX.LIB (prefix library). 32. Updates to IOTA.LIB (IOTA islands library is now in accordance with the RSGB IOTA list as of August 26, 2010). 33. Courier New is set as default font for printing. 34. In normal logging, after acknowledging DUPE QSOs with ENTER, the callsign in question is now pre-filled into the Ctrl-E (search for callsign to EDIT) dialog. 35. When a QSL manager is returned from the GOWIN program, the "MGR" field is automatically highlighted. 36. The CW KEYER section contains an optional setting WinKeySWSpeed which can be set to ON or OFF. When set to ON, Win-EQF* will store and retrieve the keyer speed from the Win-EQF.INI file, setting the WinKey speed accordingly upon program startup. Any potmeter speed change will be ignored. Handy feature for those who are hooked up to a WinKey chip without hardware speed control. 37. During automatic logging, the TRACK field will under certain conditions be auto-populated with the name of the connected rig (if any). Please refer to the manual for details. 38. Removed non-essential items from the HELP menu. 39. Added a new item in the Win-EQF* start menu program group - shortcut to the user's manual. 40. Added support for the Belgian Spring Contest (CONTEST.59). 41. New install routine. 42. Help file updated. 43. Documentation updated, now included as a PDF file containing the user's manual. 44. Ref. v. 1.49 (13); VUCC award tracking now counts entries with ARRL checked QSL RECEIVED status ("A" in the QSL RCVD field) even if QSL SENT is set to "P". 45. Minor changes in all AWARDS modules. Changes in Win-EQF* v. 2.00 - August 25, 2010 1. Internal test version. No public release. GENERAL NOTE ON Win-EQF* / Win-EQF as of July 5, 2010 Win-EQF development by EQF Software / Tom Dandrea, N3EQF, has come to a final end as of July 5, 2010.

Allow new logbooks to be created by just typing in a new filename when prompted. 6). Correct some CT import problems, with unused fields getting garbage before this. 7). On logging screen, do check of award QSL status anytime at least one letter is entered for callsign. This allows you to check status for DXCC of "F", for example, for France. Prior to this change, at least two characters were required for callsign. 8). Added a reset of the Floating Point Unit after print (or print view) operations. This is transparent to the user, but was done in an attempt to fix a problem with one particular printer driver that is causing GPF or program lockup. Version 1.10, Win-EQF - November 15, 2001 1). Reworked logging screen text so height of window could again be reduced to 36 rows instead of 38, as it was before Version 1.08. Although full-screen window size won't always be achievable, the 36x80 window should allow a larger window in most Windows screen resolutions. Version 1.09b, Win-EQF - November 13, 2001 1). (V1.09b).

Add capitalization option for "first letter of first word" under setup. 2). More glitches in CTRL-E edit cured. 3). Prevent errant "bad mult" or "new mult" display when first switching to contest. 4). Expand text output for QSL labels so longer modes like PSK31 are printed completely. 5). Fixed DXCC PREFIX entry to accept those with "/" (like FO/A). 6). Fixed intermittent problem with last DX spot display of band/mode. 7). New DDOC print engine. Printer dialog should now show selected paper size, etc. NOTE: Sorry to those with sprocket-feed printers who are waiting for a solution to the problem causing Windows to "eject a page" after printing one or more labels. Work is ongoing to cure this problem in the DDOC print engine. 8). Logbook prompt on startup no longer has entire file path in dialog window. 9). Logbook prompt for a MERGE now uses the standard Windows dialog. 10). TNC macro files 1.KEY thru 10.KEY can now be sent with CTRL-F1 thru CTRL-F10. 11). Right-click popup menu now shrinks as features that aren't enabled disappear. 12). Offer two types of antenna switch configurations now. One is the "standard" BCD method, and the other "custom" method allowing you to set one of 8 data lines on the LPT port determined by a text file that defines 8 frequency ranges.

Version 1.00 INITIAL RELEASE of Win-EQF - May 4, 2001 Version 0.0J BETA TEST RELEASE (FINAL) - May 1, 2001 ...Thank You to the 100-plus Beta Testers who helped me identify bugs and pitfalls in the initial trial version of Win-EQF. With your help, Version 1.00 is the most thoroughly-tested software I've ever released. ...And a very special "Thank You" to the nearly 5000 hams (and QSL managers, and SWL's) who have given me their support since 1989. I appreciate your ideas, your guidance, and your encouragement in making Log-EQF a program worth using. ...And, last but certainly not least, "THANK YOU!" to my wife Patty, N3TFV. Maybe now that Log-EQF for Windows is finally a reality, Patty is right that it's "Time For Vacation". TNX Patty, you're the greatest! 73, Tom N3EQF --- Win-EQF* is now maintained by Torkel M.
