Kim,

You don't need to send the same exact cards back in if you don't have the
originals. Just whatever will give you credit for that band/mode. However,
if you have the originals flagged in DXBase, you would have to unflag them
and flag the new card. Luckily I had 98% of my originals buried in my
various award stacks. No matter which way one goes, it is still a lot of
work. If you have only three or four like that, you are fortunate indeed.

73,
