Just a heads-up about a callsign that are in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ...
//VK9EC//
Just saw that the callsign VK9EC will be used from Cocos/Keeling Island (OC-003)
from 29 July to 2 August 2014 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 VK9C and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this VK9EC mapped to VK9C -- 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 ...
//VK9EX//
Just saw that the callsign VK9EX will be used from Christmas Island (OC-002) on 2-8 August 2014.
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 VK9EX 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 ...
//TX5B//
Just saw that the callsign TX5B will be used from Belep Islands (OC-079), New Caledonia from
21-24 November 2014. This callsign will default to France (F) 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 FK and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this TX5B mapped to FK -- 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 ...
//TX5E//
Just saw that the callsign TX5E will be used from d'Entrecasteaux Reefs (OC-058), New Caledonia from
14-17 November 2014. This callsign will default to France (F) 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 FK and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this TX5E mapped to FK -- 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 ...
//TX5C//
Just saw that the callsign TX5C will be used from Chesterfield Islands (OC-176) from
5-9 November 2014. This callsign will default to France (F) because of the Alias Map table mapping.
This callsign IS currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so you will need to go into the
Country Database (CALLMAP Table) and MANUALLY EDIT the entry for TX5C so that the
FINAL entry LOOKS like this:
CallCallsign = TX5C
CallPfx = FK/C
CallPfx1 = FO/C
CallDate1 = 20080316
