[Dxbase] YT-YU prefix

Wed Apr 5 18:36:58 EDT 2006

Hi Rafik:
 It looks to me like you have an old version of DXbase ? I'm using DXB
2005, and all YT stations are mapped to YU. Do "Tools", "Database Access",
"Country Prefixes", "Alias Map" and you can change it yourself. The reason
I asked what date the QSOs were from is that from the time of the Yugoslavia
breakup in 1991 until 1993, there were YT2 and YU2 stations that counted as
Croatia, 4N3/YT3/YU3 stations that counted as Slovenia, and 4N4 stations
that counted as Bosnia. Then this all stopped by 1994. So the database you
list in your email would have been fine for 1994, but the problem is that
after a few years Serbia/Montenegro started using using some YT2/YT3 etc
prefixes again, but now they count as YU.
