ALL: Here is a COMPLETE summary of the Manual changes that can be made to the Refdata -- and this now includes the additional part I just sent an email out about ... This will be the FULL Process for now --- and, if you HAVE already used my Updater from my website for the ST0S updates -- DO NOT use it again -- I have posted a NEW ZIP file to my website at:
http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/2007chkmdbs.html And, the needed changes were made to the scratchpad.mdb file -- so, if you have NOT run this updater till now -- ok -- but, don't try to run it again .. I did not change the EXE file itself .. just updated the Scratchpad.mdb file for the ST0 Alias Map table LINE data. For those who want to make the manual addition of the new country/entity - here is what I will be using (if you want to use it also) : Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Primary TAB Scrolldown to the bottom of this window and type-in the following info: Prefix column: ST0S (Sierra Tango ZERO Sierra) Country column: Rep of South Sudan (abbreviated version of Republic of South Sudan) LAT column: +4.86 LON column: -31.6 Deleted column: -- NO Checkmark Field Check column: -- Checkmark Bureau column: -- NO Checkmark CQ column: 34 ITU column: 48 ARRL-ID column: 521 ( *** ARRL has already issued this number for this entity ***) Continent column: AF TZDIFF column: +0300 *** SAVE the entry by clicking-on the entry right above this new entry.. THEN CLOSE the Prefix Databases window to let DXbase recognize this new addition *** *** Now - continue with the following steps by going back into the Prefix Databases *** Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Alias Map TAB First -- FIND the ST0 Map PFX Data LINE and edit each column with the following in each column designated: Map PFX = ST0 Pri PFX = ST0S Old1 PFX = ST Old1 Date = 20110713 Old2 PFX = ST0 Old2 Date = 19950101 Then -- Scrolldown to the bottom of this window and type-in the following info: Map PFX: ST0S Pri PFX: ST0S *** SAVE the entry by clicking-on the entry right above this new entry.. *** Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Call Map TAB Scrolldown to the bottom of this window and type-in the following info: Callsign: ST0R Prefix: ST0S *** SAVE the entry by clicking-on the entry right above this new entry.. *** NOTE: These additions are VERY straight-forward. IF the ITU "does" come-out with a brand new prefix for the Republic of South Sudan - we will be able to modify the above without any problems .. This info provided as FYI... ALSO -- I have updated the "Refdata/Logbook MDB Analyzer & Updater to Ver 4.32" to include the ST0S additions.
