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

Thu Oct 10 17:15:18 EDT 2013

The callsign VK9DAC was used earlier this year from Christmas Island (VK9X). 
If you already have it mapped to VK9X, It can't be changed to VK9L with the 
dummy QSO method (you will receive an error message). The change can still 
be made though by opening the Country Prefix database, Call Map tab and 
changing the mapping for VK9DAC from VK9X to VK9L.
