Ed, Going backwards a bit to find out something about those callsigns - it appears that they were added in for DXbase2005 .. The recommendation for any DXbase 2005/2006 user would be:
Update your Call Map TAB as follows: Callsign Prefix Old1PFX Old1Date AC0H K A5 19760101 AC1H K A5 19760101 AC6H K A5 19760101 AC7A K A5 19760101 AC7H K A5 19760101 AC8H K A5 19760101 73 Joe WA6AXE Ed K1EP wrote: > Last weekend I did the ARRL SS Phone Contest and the CQ WW CW Contest this > weekend.

I Have DxBase 2006. Is it possible to keep the Prefix Database updated by downloading the most current one from somewhere? Or do we each individually have to manually make the changes and corrections? Should I TOO make those AC0H through AC8H changes to my Call Map Tab? If there are other changes needed to be changed, where do we get them. This is a little confusing for us new-comers and I'd hate to mess up my databases. Thanks.
