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

Thu Mar 15 10:06:04 EDT 2012

I did exactly that some time ago. I uploaded my log sometime back and
Clublog "noticed" the errors (among others). I used the error file to make
the corrections. My point was not to try to figure out if I had mistakes or
a way to correct them but to mention that it is real easy to make mistakes
like this! (Usually if a mistake is to be made I am one of the first to try
it out! :-)

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.
