First, let me add my kudos for all the efforts Joe has made and continues to make to keep DXBase a great logging and awards tracking program. Your efforts are greatly appreciated Joe!
Unfortunately, I'm one of those still running DXB2006 so Joe's Refdata/Logbook Analyzer and Updater program won't work for me. I know I could upgrade to 2007, but haven't yet convinced myself to go through the pain of that process. I keep hoping Neal's rewrite of DXB will materialize soon so I only have to do the deed once! :) In the meantime, I will try to update my Refdata with the new Russian prefix allocations by hand. Does anyone have a date that these changes went into effect? I think a date certain is needed to help with updating any recent Russian QSO data if necessary and for awards tracking reports. Any date info help would be appreciated. 73, Gary AL9A ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe WA6AXE" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: June 09, 2011 7:54 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Refdata update for Russian Prefixes/Callsigns - Joe wa6axe > > ALL: > > This one is going to turn out to be one of those "tough-ones" ..
