Wed Apr 4 19:02:56 EDT 2012

ALL:
Just a reminder that DXbase2007 is very useful and capable of handling the
situation where you have "multiple QSOs cfmd on the same QSL card" -- here are the
words from the Help File which can guide you:

Multiple QSOs on same card
As of this publication, the ARRL specifies that if you submit a QSO listing form with your application any cards that contain multiple QSOs should be listed at the end of your DXCC QSO form. DXbase provides the capability for this requirement to be met, but it requires the user to populate the QSL# field in the QSO log for any QSLs that contain multiple QSOs. If the QSL# field is not used, then this support will not work in DXbase and any qualifying QSOs for your award submission form will be inserted in your form according to the band/mode of the QSO.
The value that can be put into the QSL# field is arbitrary and can be made up by the user. For example, you might wish to make up a QSL# value of 200401 showing that it was the first card of year 2004. Or, maybe you want to use 040301 showing it as year 04, month 03, and card number 01. Or still, you might use 12358. The value that you put into this field is not important except for the following three rules:
1. The value must be unique for the QSL card and the value must be entered for each QSO that is being confirmed by this card. So for example, if I receive a card containing two QSOs, I would locate both QSOs in my log and enter the same value in the QSL# field. We urge you to develop a numbering scheme that is easy to remember and that allows you to insure that you do not use duplicate numbers inappropriately.
2. The value entered in the QSL# field cannot be used for more than one QSL card. If you enter the same value from QSOs that are not confirmed on the same card, the award generation process will not work properly.
3. The value entered in the QSL# field must be numeric.
