this problem got me a couple times in last weekends contest. Someone would put out a spot for 28050 with comment of qsx 055 As that wasn't kosher It took me a moment to figure out why I wasn't transmitting.
But all the freq. abbreviation permutations that our brains can interpret may require more programming than we imagine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Dougherty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 5:44 PM Subject: [DXBase] QSX 200 request > Hi, > > I have a feature request for the next release that I hope you'll be able to > code without too much difficulty.
