[Dxbase] DXbase - let's recall the purpose of the program

Sat Mar 12 14:56:39 EST 2005

It is nice that DXbase as a logging program can enhance record keeping and award application procedures. But, to be honest, I don't myself have the slightest interest in what US county hunters rules are. I am a dx'er, I would far rather have the Oblast or DOK or other geo-characteristic of a location recorded. But, I don't want to insist that DXbase keep track of those for me or auto recognize them. There are other methods of doing that. DXbase is a good, solid, useable program. It doesn't have to do everything for everyone. I would hope that we can keep the discussions a little more on track, if we can't I will have to change to the digest version of the reflector postings.

Subject: [Dxbase] Alaska Counties
am sorry that I made my post on the problems I have been having finding some of these counties. It was a real learning experience though. If you go to the county hunter web site at the map http// www. countyhunter.com/State%20and%20County/ak.gif you will find a map of the counties which are really bouroghs and the districts which are voteing districts numbered 1, 2, 3. 4 where 1 = 1st (SE) 2 = 2nd (NW) 3 = 3rd (SC) 4 = 4th (C) are is what the county hunter recognise as COUNTIES. A few Alaskins helped me out to understand this and were very helpful. A bit confuseing but if you really think about it the bourghs makes sence.
All you people out there were a big help to me to get a foot hold into county hunting. DXBase has its problems like most programs. I have complete faith that DXBase will do a fine job on upgrades to help us county hunters and others out like they had for other awards. They are a bunch of dedicated people who are will to keep improveing this highly versital program.
Keep The Faith, Jim
