[Dxbase] Pirate Calls etc ?

Wed Nov 23 09:11:30 EST 2005

The VALID column apparently works only for DXCC statistics. If a pirate call or
a beacon is placed in the log, the call still appears as a valid entry in your
WAS, WPX, etc. statistics. Many serious vhf/uhf dxers keep records of beacons
for propagation purposes. 
In my old paper log, I probably would have written K6MYC's call in bold letters
across an entire page when I copied his 6 meter EME signals bouncing off the
moon for the first time. It would be nice if I could make such an entry in my
computer log without distorting the statistics. Dxbase does a great job of
telling me that my 7O1YGF entry along with a buck will buy me a cup of coffee
but a simple valid/non-valid option would make the program a lot more flexible.
