Hi Bob, I did some experimenting with searches for single band, using the 160 and 80 Mtr bands. On each band, I had the same results as you did, with a record being selected other than the one I had already submitted for DXCC. I think that this is because during the search, DXbase is not looking at all for what you have previously submitted (if you didn't check "Exclude Past Submissions", then it doesn't care what you submitted before). It looks like DXbase searches the SSB records first, then alphabetically by callsign. In my case, on each band, the record that DXbase selected was the first callsign alphabetically that it found on the SSB mode (even though I had earlier ones on CW). It looks like you may be seeing the same thing. From the list of callsigns in your message, K0HOA would be the first one the search finds alphabetically. I may not be totally right on the search order, but it looks like that's what is going on.
