[Dxbase] Log Entries

I have been going through my logs. I had 3 problems with my logs. If you do not watch what you click on when you make a log entry and submit your log to LOTW.
First a during a CQWW SSB contest 0n 40M on 7056.0 I worked MI0LLL logging program entered in as a CW QSO and I did not catch it and did not receive LOTW credit cause of it. After 5 years I corrected it. I had a similar error for a different station during a 160M CW contest and the program thought it was a SSB QSO instead.
Second thing I worked HK0/EA4DX on 17M. I did not get LOTW credit for that one as well. After 7 years I sent out and email and found out that the station submitted his call as EA4DX/HK0 I resubmitted the log entry and got credit for it on LOTW. 
I am not sure but DXbase might not like the HK0 in-front of the call rather than behind it. Not sure though. I am sure the CW and SSB i am sure all programs have this issue. So be careful and pay attention to what you click on and what is being entered.
I had corrected these this week in my log. I got credit for 3 more band countries that I did not have before.
Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. It is raining here and the snow is disappearing.
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
