Just throwing out a caution that others have used clublog and discovered that it's database has quite a few errors in it. So, if you are using it as the gospel, you're probably creating errors rather than fixing anything. Just saying....

I uploaded my log sometime back and Clublog "noticed" the errors (among others). I used the error file to make the corrections. My point was not to try to figure out if I had mistakes or a way to correct them but to mention that it is real easy to make mistakes like this! (Usually if a mistake is to be made I am one of the first to try it out! :-) Bill W5VX -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of D.

I think the error report will tell you which qso's (by call sign) have the wrong prefix. 73, Dale AA1QD From: "Bill Parry" <[email protected]> Subject: [Dxbase] Something stupid that I have done in the past To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This is just an FYI regarding a mistake that I was making and it was messing up the prefix column in my records. Sometimes I would hear a station and enter it into DXBase. I do this to get the record of whether I have worked the station before and on which bands. If I accidentally entered the call wrong or copied the call wrong I would correct the call in the callsign column.. If you hit enter again on that line it will correct the country that is entered. This unfortunately does NOT fix the prefix column and leaves the original prefix entered. I suppose this is no big deal but it does screw up the prefix totals for the Prefix award. I am probably the only person that has done this but just in case there is another dummy out there you might want to be careful.
