Hi Tom, The mapping for YU in DXBase is correct. It is set up to accommodate anyone adding old logs to DXBase. I think this is important with LoTW QSL for old QSOs. Here is an explanation of the mapping from the DXBase Reflector Archive:
# What you are calling Serbia-Montenegro DXBase is still calling Yugoslavia. # It's all the same place. It is part of what was Yugoslavia and what was # left of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) after Bosnia-Herzogovina, # Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia split away. But it's still the same country # whether you call it Yugoslovia or Serbia-Montenegro. # # The reason you see different countries as you type YU, YU1, YU2, YU3, YU4, # YU5 is because DXBase is attempting to convert old calls to the new # countries through call-mapping. # YU0, YU1, YU6, YU7, YU8 , YU9= Yugoslovia (now Serbia-Montenegro) # YU2=9A Croatia # YU3=S5 Slovenia # YU4=T9 Bosnia-Herzogovina # YU5=Z3 Macedonia # # If the name Yugoslavia bothers you, go into Tools/Database Access/Countries # Prefixes and change it to Serbia and Montenegro. BTW the YU is bring up the # deleted country of the German Dem Rep. in the summary window but since you # can't enter a YU call without a number this will result in the right DXCC # country entered in your log. You could change the mapping for YU but without a number what would you change it to? YU can be 5 different countries. 73, Art W2NRA ----- Original Message ----- From: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tom Althoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "DXbase reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Wierd YU mapping behavior > Take a look at the Mapping for the Old 'East Germany'. > For a while in the '80s they were using Yand a two digit number. > for instance.
