[DXBase] LOTW & DXBase

Wed, 7 Apr 2004 19:58:32 -0500

Jack,
I hope you didn't get the impression that I was complaining about =
DXBase. I
have been using DXBase for several years, since it was DOS based, and =
have
only complements. I am looking forward to the new version. My concern is
that the ARRL is dragging its feet on LOTW by placing a low priority on =
it.
Bill, W5VX
