[DXBase] G/GD LoTW import going wrong

2004年2月10日 07:05:12 -0000

Hello All
The GB prefix is an anomoly and a real nightmare for logging software!
GB (and rarely MB) is a Special Event callsign prefix that can be issued
for use in any of the DXCC countries that make up the UK. So a "GB"
station could be a G, GD, GI, GJ, GM, GU or GW

>> If it was, enter the call, and then select the proper GB prefix in the
prefix column.

>> But are you sure it was Isle of Man and not just a coincidence with the
suffix?
