DXbase2006 users: For those DXbase2006 users who wish to use them, I have posted a ZIP file that contains THREE standalone exe program files - which will check you logbook mdb file's CQ and ITU Zones for any errors. This ZIP file contains 4 files. PSE UnZIP/Extract/Save all of the four files into your DXbase2006 Main Directory.
** BACKUP your logbook mdb file !! ** (1) The first file ( usazonechecker.exe ) is for the USA (K, KH6, and KL7). This program will check each of your USA QSOs which contain a STATE in the QSO. The "first" button to press will be the KH6/KL7 errors button. This routine doublechecks any QSO PREFIXES (KH6/KL7) which "might" be in error. Correct these QSOs' Entity PREFIX (manually yourself) first. Then press the Test Only button. This will give you a VIEW and COUNT of the USA CQ/ITU Zones which contain a STATE - but contain the wrong Zone(s). THEN, if you want -- press the Update button and the CORRECTIONS will be written to your logbook mdb file. (2) The second file ( RU_zonechecker.exe ) is for the Russian (UA, UA2, and UA0) QSOs. Again, the "first" button to press will be the UA/UA0 errors button. This will doublecheck for any UA/UA2/UA0 QSO PREFIXES which "might" be in error. Again - correct these QSOs (manually yourself) to the proper Entity PREFIX. Then press the Test Only button. This will give you a VIEW and COUNT of the UA/UA2/UA0 CQ&ITU Zone(s) which are in error. THEN, if you want -- press the Update button and the CORRECTIONS will be written to your logbook mdb file. (3) The third file ( otherzonechecker.exe ) is for "the other" prefixes.. This program file USES the ( allother.mdb ) file. This program will check all of the other ENTITIES of the world (less entities such as KC4 - because this/these entities have just TOO MANY possibilites to program around). The first button to press for this program would be the Test Only button. This will give you a VIEW and COUNT of the CQ&ITU Zone(s) which are in error. THEN, if you want -- press the Update button and the CORRECTIONS will be written to your logbook mdb file. I made 3 versions of the Zone Checker - because of the magnitude of the CHECKs!! There are various reasons why you could have a QSO(s) with a CQ and/or ITU Zone error. But, suffice to say, that the above 3 programs should assist in the correcting of the errors. I and two other DXbase users have already run each of the 3 programs.
