Actually, I just did this. I find lots of call mappings for individual KC6
calls mapped to K, T8 or V6. There were Western (before 1994) and Eastern
Carolines (before 1986). I'm not about to try and reload DXBase to see
whether these came with the new database or are mappings that I have done
over the years.
I don't think I did them since I have a DXCC credit for KC6DC which counts
for T8 and one for KC6MM which is now V6 and I just changed the prefix in
the log and didn't do any mappings in the prefix databases. I also opened
the reference database for DXB2003 and these same individual mappings are
there too.
There is an alias map of KC6C to T8 without a date. I don't know whether
the FCC has avoided issuing KC6C calls; if not then this mapping is wrong.

I wasn't paying attention while in the Previous QSO's window and hit the ESC
key a few times instead of closing the window by clicking on the upper right
hand corner of the window. The column width changed and then the program
locked up. I killed it with Task Manager and now whenever I try to load
Previous QSO's the column headings are either garbage or offset by one.
Any scrolling in that window locks up the program again.
The log can be browsed. All the band info seems accurate so it only seems
like when the database is opened using Previous QSO's that I have a problem.
1) What is the effect of hitting ESC while in the Previous QSO's window?
2) Is there any way of fixing this without a re-install of DX-Base 2004?
Thanks!
