Joe, et al, Thanks for the help. I was pretty sure that I had forgotten some date or another. I suppose that since the summary window doesn't show Mixed and the CW contact was prior to 1975 there is actually no way to show the Mixed Confirmation for that contact. The unfortunate part is that the alarm thinks that I don't have DXCC credit and rings each time the LU1ZA is spotted even though I have Mixed Credit. Since the Mixed Credit is all I really am interested in I guess I'll have to "grin and bear it". Would the "All band Mixed Mode" in the Global Category Filter stop this?
I did a DXCC Statistics run and it shows credit for the QSO under mixed. I am still using the DXB 2005; it works so well I just haven't gotten around to updating. Maybe while I'm at Dayton I'll get the upgrade.
