[Dxbase] DXBase Log Export

Sun Aug 29 18:14:37 EDT 2004

Hi Steve, Joe,
What DXBase calls a prefix is a shortcut for the DXCC intity. If you look
in the DXBase file refdata.mdb you will see a table called PREFIX-Pri.
You'll see what I'm taking about. And that is what I was referring to. Not
the stations prefix. But as Joe pointed out it appears in DXBPFX.

Thanks Joe, I missed that!
