[Dxbase] DXCC QSO form preparation

Wed Dec 29 11:02:03 EST 2004

Joe, you're nothing if not dependable! Yes, please email me that report and 
the .ini file. However, it sounds like I'm in for more than a "few seconds" 
of work. My current report is only 177 lines, but of those, 99 are unique 
and 78 are multiples with a total of 30 individual callsigns. But...bring it 
on! What we don't do for DXCC bragging rights...
73 and HNY to you and the DXbase crowd,
George W1EBI
