[Dxbase] Cell colors

George et al-
Perhaps your JA 40 CW is good, but doesn't show up in the summary
as a W or a C. I look to the summary to see if something is needed and
have often not seen the W or C and have in fact the country confirmed.
I have been primarily a COW operator for nearly 50 years but was inactive
from the mid 70s until the mid 90s. CW contacts made prior to 1/1/1975
don't show up in the summary window. They do count for mixed, but before
that date there was no CW DXCC award and counted for mixed. I have
no idea why it was decided that the wouldn't be a row in the summary that
showed Mixed. Now we have CW, Phone, RTTY and Digital, but still no
Mixed. My passion is working and confirming band countries. Heaven knows
how many green stamps or IRCs if sent not realizing that I already had a
country confirmed on CW prior to 1/1/1975 but didn't realize it at the time
because it didn't show in the summary.
I have been a DXB user for about 10 years generally upgrade each year. I
haven't mentioned this before thinking I am probably the only old 
fuddy-duddy
left who has CW contacts that are over nearly 30 years old and are still the
ones they are using for awards. :-)
