Gary If you want some really useful feedback on your log, and especially the Russian prefixes, I suggest you join Clublog (www.clublog.org) once you load up your logs you will get useful feedback on prefix mapping. I have been using this to "fine tune" my DXbase mapping file
Club log probably has the most accurate prefix mapping database 73 Fred A65BD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe WA6AXE" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] *NEW* Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater Ver 4.31 -Joe WA6AXE > > > 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!
