I recently downloaded an adi file LOTW and then when Itried to intialize tables - it gave me a warning about LU4FMwith a BOGUS IOTA of AF-409 (no such an IOTA)!!
IF anyone else - besides Ed AB4IQ and myself - has experienced this --WHEN you LOOK at your logbook WINDOW -- YOU WILL NOTsee the BOGUS IOTA under LU4FM's QSOs --
BUT -- important here - YOU CAN SEE the BOGUS IOTA's if you willgo to the Summary Window and bring up the Previous QSO window.
The Logic coding that Jack put into the Logbook Window itself - makesis impossible to see the BOGUS IOTA - because he coded it that way ..BUT, apparently he did not put that same coding check in the Summary Window'sPrevious QSO Lookup sub-window..
If you are getting a warning about this BOGUS IOTA designator - open theSummary Window's Previous QSOs sub-window and FIND LU4FM Callsign.Now that you are in the window where you CAN SEE the bogus IOTAs - scroll right
and look for the AF-409 entry/entries -- then SIMPLY DELETE the/those entry/entries.YOu will get a warning when you do this - just skip past the warnings.
When you have ALL of the BOGUS IOTA's deleted - clear out of the Previous QSOsub-window and do an "Intialize Tables" -- This time you will NOT get any errorsabout AF-409 Bogus IOTA.
Just FYI.
