If you have your set up's so that "Populate Name/QTH/Grid...from CD Rom" is active, then AH3D data is taken from the CD, and it's Jackson Wyoming. This occurs even if you have entered AH3D as 'call mapping' in the Prefix data base.
If you correct the prefix, and other data, then work him on another band, that entry also gets the CD-ROM data. One could argue that putting AH3D in the prefix data base might over ride the CD-ROM...Jack might think about this. It could be argued that the user by adding this to the prefix data base was doing so as more up to date data than on a CD-ROM. Also perhaps the second Q's info should come from the 'corrected' info in the log. Of course it might break something else! There is usually something that one doesn't think about until it bites you! In the mean time you can solve this by entering the Q as KH3/AH3D. Sort of awkward, but it works.
