Dang - dang - dang! I had this error and checked - double checked - tripled checked every change made from your instructions and finally gave up, put the my log data and DXCC reference data back as it was. Then, just now opened my e-mail to find you have a 'fix'.
Grrrrrrrr! Joe, all kidding aside you are a valued lifesaver (or is that data saver?) and I for one move that Jack gives you a raise. Do I have any seconders? The only other interesting thing found with my log is that I have worked YT6A at least 9 times. Seven of the entries show him as a YU prefix and the last two show him as a YU6 prefix. So my questions are, did Ranko move? Was my reference data base changed some time in the past or is it time for me to get new eyeglasses? ---------- Jack, a kind thanks for that explanation of how the refdata works a few e-mails back. Myself for one did not realize how much information was packed into that file. There is no doubt with the world being in a dynamic state of flux these days there will be another change or two down the road someday, thankfully I am just now finding DXB has the flexibility to keep up with the changes.
