[Dxbase] WB9CIF/J6 ,Spots, Prefix/WPX

Thu Jul 14 07:11:51 EDT 2005

What is also happening WB9CIF/J6 if you make a correction in your log say you entered WB9CIF/J6 then changed it to WB9CIF/EA8, WB9CIF/IT9, WB9CIF/M the log will not change the Prefix or the WPX when you make a correction in the log. Just make the correction to the prefix on the same log entry and see what happens.
I have been noticing that when WB9CIF/J6 is spotted on internet packet, and I need that county in the DX info box with the spots tab that spot does not show up in the box. It should show up and highlight in BLUE for a new band country. If the spot goes through as J6/WB9CIF it works just fine. At the end of the original callsign after the SLASH mark is where all the trouble starts and how DXBase program deals with it.
I am not using anything like an RAC data base and Jim Preston has stated about his problem. there seams to be a common problem through out the program that deal with call signs such as WB9CIF/J6 that has a common thread with a SLASH and a PREFIX folowing a 2 by 3 call. I may be with other shorter or longer call signs, maybe Jim has narrowed it down to what type of call signs are being affected.
Some thing is just wrong in the program casue it has prefix issues. Can this be fixed please?
Keep The Faith, Jim
