[Dxbase] Trouble with the county field

Tue Mar 1 14:57:25 EST 2005

Yah, I guess HAMs in the "Independent Cities" in VA are not considered 
to be in counties. That is odd because the VA WEB description you sent 
me says that those cities have all of the courts and offices of a county 
government and I am surprised that the county hunters group doesn't 
therefore count them as counties. I just seems like if a HAM is in the 
US there should be some corresponding county entity to put in my data base.
Thanks for the help Al.
