[Dxbase] ADIF and N1MM

Mon Jul 4 17:21:23 EDT 2011

Hi Tom - N4TL, 
Regarding your question re: N1MM and DXBVAL the simple
answer is that N1MM is generating a set of output variables based on some
version of the ADIF specification (I don't know which version number).
DXBVAL is specific to DXbase. It was Jack's way of allowing DXCC band/mode
validity to be an input variable outside of the ADIF specification. N1MM is
following ADIF; it doesn't know what logging program the ADIF data will be
imported to. There are a handful of other DXbase-specific variables that
don't have ADIF counterparts. As ADIF is expanded these variables may or
may not become part of the ADIF specification. 
Hope this helps.
