Jack Yes I agree it is selecting the 17 m phone QSO, I didn't see it.
So what you are doing is likely correct...it just surprises me that I can't get it to simultaneously select my 160 phone and cw Q with FO0AAA. But I probably should not be surprised as when I review the DXCC rules I find that the 5BDXCC award, which is endorsable for additional bands (like 160) is NOT endorsable by mode. I am so intent on working band/modes, yet there is no actual DXCC award for band/modes. There is the DXCC Challenge, but again it does not distinguish by mode. I would have though that checking off everything would produce the sum of each individually, but this is not the case. In order to produce a list of all my band/modes I would have to run the report 3 times (with all bands selected, then I would have to run it once with phone, once with cw and once with rtty) and then merge the reports into a combined report. Is this correct? Ron N5IN -----Original Message ----- Ron I ran DXCC award using your database. I placed a check in Mixed, Phone, CW, and 160. When I run this, DXbase selects a 17m phone QSO for Clipperton, and it also selects a 160M cw QSO for Clipperton. I don't see any problem.
