To all:
First, let me state that "if" you want to use this guide and
make the changes "right-now" - good!! If you do not feel comfortable
making the changes right now, please simply ignore this email.
We all know that NO exact DATE has been seen, but if you
want to make the changes right now, and they come out with an
OFFICIAL change DATE later on, it is VERY easy to make the needed
changes at that time.
NOTE: If your email copy of this email doesn't show the
data for each PREFIX "on one line" -- you can simply click-on
the following URL and you will see a PHOTO of the instructions.

OK -- here are the steps I did, in order to get my database(s)
modified ....
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. VERY IMPORTANT --- First, Back-up your Logbook mdb file and
Refdata.mdb file to a safe place.
2. Go to DXbase Main Menu - Tools/ Database Access/ Country Prefixes.
In the Primary prefix TAB of the Prefix Database ADD at the very
bottom of that table, a Temporary entry of :
4O Montenegro +42.27 -19.28 0 -1 -1 15 28
516 EU +0100
** NOTE: the DXCC # of 516 will be changed later on back-to it's proper
# of 514.
3. Close out the Prefix Database window - so that the entry we just made
can be
saved completely and that you will be able to see it when you go to step 4.
4. Open back up the Prefix Database.
** NOTE: In the Alias Map TAB, there are only 2 sets of columns for the
OLD1 and OLD2
information. Since we will be adding some new info to this
Tab, the
"oldest" info (in OLD2 columns) will simply have to
"drop-out" of the Table.
5. In the Alias Map TAB MODIFY the existing YZ3 and YZ6 Prefix entries
to read as follows:
YZ3 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
YZ6 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
NOTE: we will leave the YZ prefixes under YU (for now) - until the ITU
issues the YZ prefix(es) to
another entity. Past owners of the YZ prefixes need to still be shown.
6. In the Alias Map TAB, MODIFY the existing 4N3 and 4N6 Prefix entries
to read as follows:
4N3 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
4N6 YU 4O 20070715 YU 20060627
NOTE: we will leave the 4N prefixes under YU (for now) - until the ITU
issues the 4N prefix(es) to
another entity. Past owners of the 4N prefixes need to be shown.
7. In the Alias Map TAB, MODIFY the existing 4O, 4O3, 4O4, and 4O6
Prefix entries to read as follows:
4O 4O
4O3 4O YU 20060627
4O4 4O YU 20070715 T9 19921019
4O6 4O YU 20060627
8. In the Alias Map TAB, MODIFY the existing YT3 and YT6 Prefix entries
to read as follows:
YT3 YU 4O 20070715 YU 20060627
YT6 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
9. In the Alias Map TAB, MODIFY the existing YU3 and YU6 Prefix entries
to read as follows:
YU3 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
YU6 YU 4O 20070715 YU
20060627
10. Go to the Call Map TAB -- do a search of the Prefix column for any
YU6 entries that might be in that column.. Change each of them (if
you have found any) from YU6 to 4O.
11. **** FINALLY **** - go back to the Primary Prefix TAB and go to the
YU6 entry.
DELETE that YU6 entry completely. Then go to the 4O entry and change the
DXCC # of 516 -- to read as 514 ...
Close out the Prefix Database window completely.
Go to the Previous QSO window and FIND the YU6 prefix QSO's you might
have in your logbook .... when you have found them, simply change the
Prefix column from YU6 to read 4O ....
You are now done...

Subject: [Dxbase] Update to Joe WA6AXE's setp guide
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To all:
I just noticed that when I copied and pasted the Primary Prefix
database for the 4O entry -- the "normal" entries for some
columns were shown as 0 and -1 ... so, here is the final 4O entry
"Primary Prefix TAB" again:
4O
Montenegro
+42.27
-19.28
"Deleted" : No checkmark
"Field Check" : Checkmark
"Bureau" : Checkmark
15
28
514
EU
+0100
Please NOTE: I modified DXbase 2007 mdb files .. If you are using
2005 or earlier, the TimeZoneDiff column will NOT be there. Just ignore
the +0100 ...
