Gary, Only you can make the decision about WHEN to upgrade ..
If you wait until ver 1.09 -- just be aware that the current RU callsign/prefixes mod is strictly for the Refdata -- I do NOT check any of the QSOs .. MOST of the time -- the RU QSOs that you would log would be ok -- just look over the PREFIX column of your logbook for any glaring prefix that looks wrong ... If you go for ver 1.08 -- then YES -- run the Updater of mine ... 73 Joe wa6axe > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] *NEW* Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater Ver 4.31 > -Joe WA6AXE > Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2011 13:22:51 -0800 > > Joe, > > Well, I think I just got motivated to upgrade to DXB2007!
