[Dxbase] Online DXCC

Tue Mar 20 16:26:02 EDT 2012

John,
Just for the heck of it -- I called Bill Moore at the DXCC Desk to find out some
specifics on this OnLine DXCC program ... well .... there are no specifics
that he could relate to me about the adi file being an option when the
Program goes ONLINE for real ... he could only talk to me in very general
terms and therefore, without knowing some good solid specifics -- we will
just have to wait until the BETA testing phase is finished and the program is
truely placed ONLINE ... 
Converting the current contents of the DXCCQSO.rpt will not be an easy
task -- as there is information NOT available in the report -- that will
probably be needed in the ultimate adi file (if that becomes a real option).
I guess that since I (myself) can not at this time become a BETA tester for
the upcoming Online DXCC program -- is there anyone of the DXbase users
who ARE on the BETA Test team for this OnLine DXCC Program?? If so, I would
like to exchange emails with you.
