I believe the strongest point of dx4win is this what you are talking about. We write a call and we all have the right country and the right zone. I am tha cq checker in Greece and a friend was asking me what is this zone 2, never worked. I asked his log because i was sure he has worked the zone as he participates in contests very often and dx4win found 2-3 stations worked. He used logger. Also same results with other programs. What is the more important from a logging program. These two: 1. Keep the log right 2. shows the right country file. You say that your log is not right because a call xxx is not mapped or my manager is not in there. i have solved this sometime ago. I have written in relfector also and i asked everyone to do the same. Sent your country files to Jim AD1C. He will have them included in next release and you have not worried abt your dxcc totals. I write every mngr i want to add in a piece of paper and send them to Jim also. Why you don't do the same? I hadn't ever a problem with the log. Kostas sv1dpi PS1: I agree there is a need for a utility or something like that to help anyone with a problem with his counties, even i hadn't any problem (probably lucky or good computer practice). And of course was a problem this damned bug for eveyone because this way is not served the reason 1 but this is the way every bug works... But at least we must make everything we can to keep our log ok and the way i described is the right one.
