[Dxbase] : Something stupid that I have done in the past

Bill,
Try running you log through Clublog. I think the
error report will tell you which qso's (by call
sign) have the wrong prefix.

This is just an FYI regarding a mistake that I was
making and it was messing up the prefix column in
my records.
Sometimes I would hear a station and enter it into
DXBase. I do this to get the record of whether I
have worked the station before and on which bands.
If I accidentally entered the call wrong or copied
the call wrong I would correct the call in the
callsign column.. If you hit enter again on that
line it will correct the country that is entered.
This unfortunately does NOT fix the prefix column
and leaves the original prefix entered. I suppose
this is no big deal but it does screw up the
prefix totals for the Prefix award. 
I am probably the only person that has done this
but just in case there is another dummy out there
you might want to be careful.
