Generating a WPX Submission

DXKeeper can automatically choose the minimal set of confirmed QSOs to submit to CQ for WPX award credit in pursuit of your WPX award objectives.

In preparation for generating a submission, verify that your award objectives are properly specified, and backup your log by clicking the Backup button in the Configuration window's Log tab.

Display the WPX Submission window by clicking the Submission button in the CQ WPX panel on the Main window's Check Progress tab; in this window,

  1. check the eQSL confirmations box

  2. uncheck the LotW confirmations box

  3. uncheck the QSL Cards box

  4. assemble a submission that includes QSOs confirmed via Authenticity Guaranteed members of eQSL.cc by clicking the Assemble Submission button; DXKeeper will inspect each of your QSOs confirmed via eQSL, and promote those to be submitted by setting their WPX vfy items to S.

  5. uncheck the eQSL confirmations box

  6. check the LotW confirmations box

  7. augment the submission with QSOs confirmed via Logbook of the World by clicking the Assemble Submission button; DXKeeper will inspect each of your QSOs confirmed via LotW, and promote those to be submitted by setting their WPX vfy items to S.

  8. uncheck the LotW confirmations box

  9. check the QSL Cards box

  10. augment the submission with QSOs confirmed via QSL cards by clicking the Assemble Submission button; DXKeeper will inspect each of your QSOs confirmed via QSL card, and promote those to be submitted by setting their WPX vfy items to S.

  11. for each WPX award you're pursuing,
    1. choose that award in the Award selector above the Create Submission Report button

    2. generate a Submission Report by clicking the Create Submission Report button

    3. review the Submission Report; if necessary, you can manually remove a QSO from the submission -- for example, a QSO with a station not yet approved for CQ WPX -- by clearing its WPX vfy item. If you perform any manual modifications, return to the previous step before proceeding.

    4. if an award application is warranted,
      1. check the Generate Submission File box to the right of the Create Submission Report button

      2. generate a Submission Report and a Submission File in DXKeeper's Reports folder by clicking the Create Submission Report button

      3. log in to your LotW account to submit those QSOs in your submission confirmed via LotW
      4. attach the Submission Report and Submission File produced in step 11.d.ii to and email message and send it to the CQ WPX Award Manager
  12. when you receive a response from CQ, check to see if any of the QSLs you submitted were rejected; if so, manually change the associated QSOs' WPX Vfy items to I (for invalid).

  13. click the Verify Submission button to promote the rest of the QSOs in your submission to verified by setting their WPX vfy items to V.
