OK, I have checked all my FO0AAA Q's (20 band modes) all in March 2000. I have confirmed that all are marked as valid for mixed and mode and confirmed that only one (20 meter RTTY) is marked as Awarded. All are marked as confirmed. FO0AAA is in my call mapping to FO/C.
I ran the awards proces with Mixed, CW, Phone and 160 selected. The result is that only the CW Q is in the report, the Phone Q is mising. I don't know what else I could check Jack. Maybe Ill have to e-mail you my compressed log and refdata files.
