Jim:
Wow, this is terrific!!
Makes me wonder why I waited so long to get A C Log up and running here!
Thanks once again for all the helpwith A C Log both on and off list.
Hopefully, I can return the favor to someone else who may need it someday.

Tom,
Since you are using the N3FJP AC Log already, you have great DX spotting
built-in with the additional feature that your AC Log is already interfaced
with your radio. Once you enable DX Spotting in AC Log, you get a scrolling
window of spots. You enter that window by hitting control+z. Then you can
arrow up or down through the spots. If you see something you want to work,
just hit enter and several things happen automagically: your rig goes to
that band and frequency; the mode is set on your rig; and the spot station's
callsign is placed in your AC Log entry field waiting for you to work the
station. You can also control voice announcements, such as "DX Spot" or
"Needed Spot" for a DX country you need. You can even set up announcements
by needed on this band or in this mode.
Jim

Thanks, John.
I'm sure I could google it, but if you have it handy, could you post the web
site for DX Summit?
I may just give it a try here as the year goes on, and as I find that I need
to work certain states to get them all.

You go to the website and there is a Search feature. I enter W1AW/ and a
list will be shown of recent spots reported. The reason I like it is I get
to know what band they are on even though I am not hearing them.
No problem with Jaws.

John:
I am just using the old fashioned method of searching for them on the bands
when I get time.
Can you tell us a bit how DX Summit works, and how accessible it is with
Jaws and other speech screen readers?
I have been a bit late to this whole thing, since it took me a while to get
A C Log up and running, and I'm now starting to work on L O T W.

Hello All
I have been checking DX Summit where the W1AW/ stations are operating. What
are others using to find where they are active at any time? I am using this
to fill in my missing states on some bands.
