Joe, Well, I think I just got motivated to upgrade to DXB2007! I started looking at the Russian prefix changes in earnest and quickly came to the conclusion that I would probably make a horrific mess of my refdata.mdb file by attempting manual changes myself. So I guess now I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to 2007 V1.08 and use your Checker/Updater program or wait for V1.09 to be released with the new refdata.mdb file. I am leaning toward the later, but would like to check something first.
I have been working the All Asia CW DX contest this weekend and have quite a few RU contacts with the new prefixes. If I import them into my current DXB2006 mdb and later upgrade to DXB2007 V1.09 will the data in my 2006 mdb file be updated to reflect the new prefix allocations or should I still download and run your Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater Ver 4.31? I suspect the latter would be the case, but just wanted to check before I step off the edge. 73, Gary AL9A ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe WA6AXE" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: June 12, 2011 9:14 PM Subject: [Dxbase] *NEW* Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater Ver 4.31 -Joe WA6AXE > > GM All: > > For the DXbase2007 users -- I have just posted Version 4.31 of my > Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater program to my Ham Radio > website at: > > http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/selection.html > > > This is the same program as before - except that I have now included a > CHECK/SAMPLING for the new Russian Prefixes/Callsigns, that we learned > about > very recently.
