[Dxbase] RE: Dxbase Digest, Vol 5, Issue 19

I don't think this will effect anything in importing from Writelog.
As the .adi export that Writelog creates doesn't 'SEEM' to use the ARRL country numbers.
An inspection of my Writelog .adi shows it as
WriteLog
<EOH>
<QSO_DATE:8>20030301 <TIME_ON:6>001454 <FREQ:5>7.169 <RXFREQ:5>7.074 <BAND:3>40m <STX:1>1 
<MODE:3>SSB
 <CALL:6>PA3EPN
 <RST_SENT:2>59
 <RST_RCVD:2>59
 <RX_PWR:3>400
 <M:1>1
 <A40:3> 1
 <P:1>3
 <COUNTRY:11>Netherlands
 <PREF:2>PA
Apparently Writelog uses the Country name and not the ARRL number.
And in this case DXB determines the country by it's name or prefix.
Can't speak for .adi exports from other programs
