Hi Gintaras and all, Reading your last message I was checking in my log once again the callsigns with /P, /QRP... Now I have discovered the following situation. SV5/DJ5AA/P was shown as SV5 in WPX column (being imported from WL). But... OM/HA6NL/P appeard as P0. Then I typed in SV5/DJ5AA/P directly into DXB and it was P0... :-(
