[Dxbase] Bad File

Tue Mar 14 22:24:43 EST 2006

Thanks guys,
I'll let you know how it goes. I plan to add the 30 odd QSOs to the good
file, and then copy it back over the corrupted one on my radio computer. 
I was hoping that I'd have to copy some other file only because I have to
copy those 30+ Qs by hand but... adding 30+ QSOs is better than losing 41K!
:-)

Thanks a bunch!
Bill, W5VX
