Well, you know, that's kind of what I figured the message meant. But since I don't track CQ zones, never enter them, have no use for them, don't even show a column for them, how do I get around that? I think there are lots of prefixes that dxbase doesn't seem to recognize. Lots of these calls in the WPX contest seem to be enigmas...
