[Dxbase] Modifications to DXbase2007 for the "Naming" of Digital DXCC Award?

I agree. I think RTTY and other digital modes should be kept separate.

 Is DXBase then going to be a DXCC only program. What about awards that do not combine RTTY into digital? I would rather my RTTY contacts be separate from Digital modes and allow DXBase to continue total them as they are. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

 Bob,
 Yes - Jack made the COMBINED Dig/RTTY area of the STATS many years ago - thinking that SOMEDAY
 they would do what they have just done ... and YES -- when I do an AWARD (DXCC) Module run 
 (besides looking at the stats) -- my count there is good also -- 
 It is JUST the NAME of RTTY as a MODE on the QSO Form for DXCC -- which this CAN be changed
 within the DXbase2007 exe file -- without causing too many probs ...
 Food for thought!

 Hi Joe,
 Just finished updating my DXCC Award and use Output/HF Numeric Statistics/Countries to obtain the Summary Window called DXCC Statistics to keep track of things. It has been very accurate. One of the columns in DXCC is called "Dig/RTTY" and it appears to be RTTY & Digital contacts combined. When I combine my PSK31 & RTTY contacts confirmations manually the numbers are the same as shown in the "Dig/RTTY" column. So, it appears that some far-sighted person could see the day coming when RTTY contacts would be combined with Digital contacts. For now, I see only one necessary change to make. Retitle the column to "Digital" and drop the OLD "Digital." A few of the Reports will have to reflect the change because of the change in the meaning of Digital. That's it for now.

 Neal and all:
 I am not that smart on the DXCC program -- maybe we have an expert Card Checker who can
 give us some guidance -- but, from what I can see out of this CHANGE from the
 DXCC RTTY Award
 now being called
 DXCC Digital Award
 and the RTTY award name is GONE -- as well as the RTTY Mode within the
 Rules area -- now RTTY is just a subset of the Digital Mode ...
 SO, after looking over everything on DXbase dealing with RTTY versus Digital,
 I am sure thinking that there WILL be a needed change -- but, need an expert
 here ...
 Any thoughts ??
