[Dxbase] stupid question

Oh no you dont!!
Those registered callsigns have NOTHING to do with the log file name or who 
the log is for
The registered calls are actually matched to the "OPR CALL" column in the 
log when you extract data
So as long as "AJ9C" is the OPR CALL in all the logs no new file is needed, 
and if you change the OPR CALL to AJ9C anyway it works ("Find" and "Replace" 
work well)
This didnt actually work until either DXB2006 or 2007 anyway, once it 
started to work I was royally screwed with my QSLing for QSOs where I was 
not the operator.
I have given up complaining about this. Under the UK licence you are 
obliged to record in the log the callsign of the operator if you have a 
guest operator use your callsign. In theory I could have 100's of different 
OPR CALLs and be updating the "licence" every week but Jack doesnt want to 
do that.
