Wendell, Sorry, I get it now. I did not notice at first look that you had added your comments directly to my questions. Sorry, I should have looked closer. When I saw the notation: "From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alan C. Zack" I had thought you were telling me my message bounced and didn't look further as I should have. Thanks for your great suggestions and help. I got that gum surgery last month and the colonscopy is coming next Monday. I hope the DX4WIN will be less of a pain! 73 and thanks again......

Use the new one as-is. If you already merged, then move your merged database aside and download the clean file from the web site before performing the exercise. Two people have sent me data this week where it appears that they merged their old buggy country database into the new, clean one. This has resulted in lot of phantom problems. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC
