However, writing a slash-0 to an ADIF file (which this case was) is a no-no. It's possible that the software that generated the ADIF file allowed you to log a callsign and type in a slash-0 for the 0. Either way, not good. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
