Neal Currently using DXbase 2006.
LOTW confirmations are valid only for DXCC and WAS. This creates some confusion in the "summary " box for awards such as VUCC , WAZ,and WPX that do not recognize LOTW. Example. I work XF5AA in grid DL88. No paper qsl but he does confirm the qso via LOTW. When I look at the "summary" box it will now show a "C" for DXCC (Mexico), VUCC (DL88), WAZ (Zone 6), and WPX (XF5). Unfortunately, the VUCC, WPX, and WAZ information is in error because I do not have a qsl in hand. As a result, I never import my data from LOTW because it gives me too many false confirmed prefixes. Now I realize that I can filter these false confirmations when I print an application but I need to know what I actually "need" in the heat of the battle. I hope this can be addressed in a future version of DXbase. In March of 2008, the CQ WPX Award was extended to include 6 meters. DXbase 2006 does not allow 6 meter cards to be included in an application. There is a work-around but this should be an easy change for the next version. 73, John AE5B ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
