[Dxbase] Call/Portable Database

Dick,
Depends on what are you trying to do? You can log the various W1AW/portable 
stations into your own mdb file now. Just change the State in the log 
record for what was worked to whatever the current State is currently 
running the operation.
If you are trying to keep a separate log of stations you worked from AZ as 
W1AW/7 you have several options:
1. Have Neal issue you a new registration code for W1AW/7 that will allow 
you to create a new mdb file.
2. Use your current mdb log file, but change the field "Opr Call" to W1AW/7. 
You will still need Neal to update your registration code to recognize 
W1AW/7. Then after your week or two in the sun operation as W1AW/7, export 
the records from your log with the Opr Call of W1AW/7 to an adi file. This 
file can then be transferred to your state Centennial manager for uploading 
to LOTW.
3. Use a completely separate logging program for your W1AW/7 QSOs. When 
W1AW/KL7 comes up in the rotation I intend to use my contest logger, 
WriteLog, to do all my logging chores. It allows me to use audio wav files 
for the DVK, CW macros for that mode and RTTY macros in that mode. I think 
I can even do PSK from WriteLog. All contacts logged would then be exported 
to an adi file for our state coordinator to use in uploading everything to 
LOTW.
