[Dxbase] Any news on the DXCC report problem?

Thu Sep 16 23:12:12 EDT 2004

Hi guys,
A few months back I posted about a problem in generating a DXCC report when 
using multiple criteria for the search. At issue was when multiple BAND and 
MODE QSOs are submitted for DXCC, the software wasn't generating a report 
with the correct numbers.
As a reminder, here's what was happening:
>Let's say for the sake of discussion that I have 10 new entities on 40 
>metres - 5 on phone and 5 on CW.
>>If I have PHONE and 40 both checked, DX Base is ONLY returning the five 
>phone contacts.
>If I have MIXED and 40 selected, all ten contacts will be selected.
>If I have CW and 40 checked, only the five CW contacts will be selected.
>>The way it *should* work is in each case above, all ten should come back 
>for each query. Band should trump mode. Right now, mode trumps band and 
>it's leaving off an awful lot of band-countries! My DXCC award is Phone, 
>not mixed, so it leaves off all the CW contacts.

Remember, the BAND awards don't care what mode the contacts were worked on, 
and the MODE award doesn't care about the band. Putting the two together to 
generate a correct report is now the challenge.
I'm well over 325 QSOs now to get verified on my next submission and I was 
wondering if anybody's managed to derive a fix for this?
Thanks.
