Harry, W3FM, is trying to subscribe to the list, but apparently having trouble, so I'm forwarding this message from him to the list. Please respond to him directly, or to the list, of course.
To summarize, he is having trouble setting up DX4WIN to read the Buckmaster database. He has tried installing the files on C: and putting the CD into D: Perhaps someone with experience with this can show Harry how to do it. 73 - Dave N3RD ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Fri, 06 Jul 2007 00:36:07 +0000 From: "harry.burhans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Buckmaster CDRom HamCall 2007 To: <[email protected]> Copies to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> By hitting the F3 key I want to go to "callsign lookup address" in Preferences/Ext Data.

It's a trivial change to the code. 73- Jim AD1C >Hi Folks, > >I can verify that DX4WIN does have a keep-alive function for telnet DX cluster >connections.
