That sounds like a problem left over from the 1980s/1990s. If your logging program really has this issue, then you really should think about switching logging programs. There's no reason that the logging program can't identity the country from the callsign in the format that the operator is sending. The ONLY possible source of confusion is when the part before the '/' has the same number of characters as the part after the '/', for example VP2V/NY6X (active in May 2012). DX4WIN knows how to handle this case, and many others like it. Ed, I'm not singling you out. ANYONE who has this problem should switch. 73 - Jim AD1C -- 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
