The Databases - WAE DATABASE
The WAE database contains country data for the 'Worked All Europe' award program.
The database functions similar to the DXCC database with the European country list closely following that of the DXCC award program.
However, there are some exceptions.
Country entities of both current and deleted status can be listed.
The database allows tracking of worked and confirmed status of logged QSOs and other related functions throughout the software.
The WAE database QSO list will be updated automatically when a new WAE country is worked or
confirmed in the Log with each NEW band/mode during the logging input.
Only ONE QSO from the Log is added to the WAE database for each new country/band/mode, thus not every QSO is added to the WAE database.
The WAE database can be viewed and queried directly:
menu/Databases/WAE/View
The WAE database window.
The DXCC 'entity code' for each European country has been retained for functionality.
Pseudo codes have been allocated to the non-DXCC countries that the WAE award program recognises like Shetland and Sicily.
If you have no interest in the WAE award program and don't require WAE status reports, this function can be disabled with menu/Database/WAE/Auto Check.
The ‘white’ list displays countries and details of QSO entered in the
WAE database, only one entry per band/mode.
Both country and QSO list displays are modified by the last selected filter,
e.g. worked, confirmed, etc., using the appropriate toolbar buttons.
Both country and QSO lists interact accordingly.
The Left ‘blue’ columns list all current WAE Countries, this list will be modified
to reflect any filtering by the Toolbar query buttons.
A summary of the query and results are displayed at the top of each list.
The summary will display the total WAE countries worked/confirmed depending on what filters are set.
The Toolbar Selection Icons.
| 1 | WAE | The Valid WAE Country list (blue background). |
| 2 | DELETED | Countries that no longer count for the WAE award (red background). |
| 3 | ALL | Both current and deleted entities (red background). |
The Toolbar Query Icons.
| 1 | All | All countries and all QSO entered in the WAE database. |
| 2 | Worked | All countries worked and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 3 | Any Confirmed | All countries confirmed and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 4 | QSL Confirmed | All countries confirmed by QSL and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 5 | QSL Confirmed Exclusive | All countries confirmed only by QSL and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 6 | eConfirmed | All countries confirmed by LoTW and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 7 | eConfirmed Exclusive | All countries confirmed only by LoTW and related QSO in the WAE database. |
| 8 | Worked/Not Confirmed | All countries worked but not confirmed and QSO awaiting confirmation. |
| 9 | Wanted | All countries wanted - no QSOs are listed in the WAE dataabse. |
Further filters can be applied using the toolbar drop-own band and mode filters.
The filter lists mirror the contents of the Log drop-down lists (band/mode)
If a required band or mode is not present in the DXCC filter list, it must be added to the Log band/mode list.
menu/Options/Settings/Custom lists
'Digi' modes (e.g PSK, RTTY etc) can be queried individually or as a group "All Digi" modes, this is done by routines which automatically add a trailing space after the
Digi mode when added to the WAE database, e.g."PSK "
This must also be observed when entering or editing data modes manually in the DXCC QSO list.
Toolbar option #1 will find the selected QSO corresponding in the Log.
Toolbar option #14 will export the QSO list as a text delimited file.
Toolbar option #15 will print the QSO list and/or the country list.
Click 'Yes' to print the QSO list; click 'No' for a further option to print the country list.
Fields not required in the print-out can be ignored by narrowing the field width by dragging the column separators to zero (hidden).
The WAE database can also be updated with the Log Check Robot (LCR)
It may be necessary to use the Log Check Robot after importing from another Log program.
Speed logging or contest operation do not update the WAE database so it will be necessary to run the Log Check Robot
through any new QSOs added during these periods.
A separate help section deals with the Log Check Robot.
Maintenance.
Removing a QSO from the WAE database.
Click cursor on the QSO callsign in the 'worked' list to select it.
Click cursor on the adjacent left grey |>| pointer column which will select the complete line.
Press the keyboard DELETE key to complete the deletion.
N.B. This does NOT delete the associated QSO from the Log database.
