DX4WIN automatically assigns the most likely IOTA for given DXCC entity (in the FS case, NA-105 which is St. Martin). I know I have worked St. Barts many times in the past, mostly with an FJ prefix, and manually entered NA-146 in my log. Here are some of them: FG0EUU/FS in 1978 FJ/N0IMH in 1992 N2HIG/FJ in 1993 FJ/F6HWU in 1993 FJ/N9SW in 1995 FJ5AB in 1996 FJ/K1YJK in 1998 FJ/AA6YQ in 2000 For any entity with multiple possible IOTA, you may have to override the IOTA in your log. > That means I need to pull out all my FS QSL's and check if the > address info shown on the card is St. Barts or St. Martins. You just have to search your log for QSOs with the FS entity, using a "partial call" search of FJ in the callsign field. Those are probably the only cards you have to check. However, if your cards are organized by DXCC entity (W7NN sells dividers for this purpose), then it's probably easier to just pull out all the FS cards and look through them. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Dec 28 18:50:04 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (F6EXV) Date: Fri Dec 28 18:51:22 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] New application note: Adding a New Entity In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all I was one of the ops in St Barth in 1978 (30 years ago...), as well as the QSL manager. All QSO were confirmed via bureau then, even without a request received. I can also mention we used another call during that operation : FG0DWT/FS, also from Saint Barth. Whoever might have worked us then and has a computer log for that can check it for NA-146. 73 Paul F6EXV Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: >--- Alan Zack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >>One thing I find interesting about FJ becoming a separate country >>is how the RSGB IOTA people are going to handle it.
