[Dxbase] Invalid QSLs

Tue Nov 24 17:07:41 EST 2009

I have been making a major effort to clean up my records on DXBase(2007) and
making them match my DXCC credits. This Challenge Award is a real record
keeping "challenge"!! I have had pretty good success but I have run into a
problem and I was wondering what you have done.
I have decided to mark my QSOs with pirates, and with stations that I know I
won't get a card from (from back in the 60s and 70s as not valid contacts.
That way they won't show that I need them when I run a report, but I don't
delete them from my log. I sent in a couple of hundred QSLs that were
credited and returned to me today. Three of the QSLs from this decade
including (EZ4XX, TT8PK, 5N/LZ1QK) were not credited because they had "No
documentation". Since these are not counters (at least yet) I am tempted to
mark these as invalid contacts as well.
I was just wondering what others have done with these. (Actually the 5N says
status pending).
