[Dxbase] WPX award question

Wed Apr 27 13:34:09 EDT 2005

Jim has the work around solution. Used the Wizard to select all my non-WARC
band contacts, one band at a time, and append them together as a Wizard
record output file. Then used the WPX award module to bounce up against the
Wizard records output rather than the entire log data base. The good news
is it works! The bad news is I'm now 29 confirmations short of the minimum
300 needed. Back to the log to see where I can dig out some more QSL's from
needed prefixes! Thanks for the help. Looks like I need to upgrade from
the 2003 version. When is 2006 due out?
