The only problem I see with this is that if ( I know if this, if that) they issue that call again for some other island or other activity it will show up as Clipperton won't it? I believe that if you do it through the mapping utility you can set a date for the callsign. Then when it is issued again it will come up as F again when they use it for the Bordeaux Wine Festival special event station or whatever.

But after tabbing to the prefix column and entering the new prefix, I then click on the callsign column again. This will also cause the prompt to appear, asking if you want to map the callsign to the chosen prefix. After answering yes, you can then just press the escape key to cancel saving the record. That way you don't have to go back and delete the record, but the callsign has been mapped to the prefix you want. 73, Tim - N3XX ----- Original Message ----- From: "ni0c" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 7:45 AM Subject: re:[Dxbase] New Dx-ped TX5C -- getting your CALL MAP database Here's an alternate procedure that I use all the time to create such callsign mappings: Just type in the callsign (TX5C) you want to map in the QSOLog window, then hit the TAB key as if logging an actual QSO. Go to the Prefix column in the QSOLog window and click to select the new prefix you want (i.e., change from "F" to "FO/C"). Then save the record as a QSO. DXBase automatically prompts you and asks if you want to map the chosen callsign to the chosen prefix. Click "Yes," then delete the QSO record you just created (Record, delete record). Works for me using DXBase2007. 73, Chuck NI0C ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
