[Dxbase] Just a headsup in case you work Lighthouses

Joe has that great Lighthouse Report.
I'm not a rabid LH chaser but work them when I hear them.
But a small anomaly exists with DXBase.
VE9ND/LH was on last week, a Lighthouse number of CAN-096.
If you logged this from a cluster spot, it will add the CAN-096 to the IOTA 
column.
Unfortunately Lighthouse naming convention is the same as IOTA conventions.
Consequently, DXB 'thinks' that's a IOTA island you just worked.
Here's where the anomaly part comes in.
Even though you may delete that code number from the iota column in you log 
it will remain in some index.
You must go to the 'Previous QSO's' menu for that callsign and delete it 
there also.
Otherwise it will be rejected when doing a 'Initialization' following a 
contest or LoTW import.
