[Dxbase] [dxbase] Heads-up on on-going DXpedition as VK9DAC (ambiguous prefix)‏‏‏‏‏

Fri Jun 28 20:27:25 EDT 2013

According to the VK9DAC web page at http://vk9dac.coffeecup.com/ the mini-DXpedition is already over. The operation occurred from May 28th until June 4th, 2013. No mention of if or when this call will again be active on Christmas Is.

ALL: Just a heads-up about a callsign that is in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ... Just saw that the callsign VK9DAC is being used from Christmas Island (VK9X) from June 3, 2013. This callsign will default to Norfolk Island (VK9N) because of the Alias Map table mapping. This callsign is not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if you want, simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the PREFIX column of your logbook mdb file to VK9X and then when the pop-up asks you if you want to save this VK9DAC mapped to VK9X -- say YES/OK ---- Then delete that dummy QSO .. The CALLMAP table will now be updated in advance so that if you work this station -- it will have the correct PREFIX in your logbook QSO window ... 73 Joe wa6axe__._,_.___Reply via web post Reply to sender Reply to group Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1)
