Ken-Dubuque shows in my "worked" listing. I have run into a problem where a county doesn't get recorded when entered because of a spelling error. Really need an error message if something is entered that doesn't match the database for that particular field.

I've just discovered that my first QSO with "Dubuque" County Iowa does not show up in the list of counties worked. The QSO -IS- in the log and it shows up when I search for "Dubuque" in the "County" field. With about 590 counties now "worked", I'm now wondering if there are others that have also failed to show in the list. I REALLY don't want to go back and audit 2100 entries to see if EACH "new one" has shown up as I've entered it. Someone please see if your "Dubuque" county QSO appears in YOUR list of counties worked. It would be helpful to have the ability to enter "Independent City" in the County field for those states that have these ... VA and MO, for example. Why? Since there isn't (yet) a "City" field one could search "VA" and "Independent City" for QSO's that could be claimed for one of the needed adjacent counties. A "City" field would be most helpful. In my span of 51 years of operating I have many QSO's with stations that have been located in different places and if I understand correctly these must be noted in the "Notes for this QSO" field and NOT in the "Notes for this call". I accidentally found that a "Notes ... call" entry for "Bill - Podunk" will be changed in all my QSO's with "Bill" when I log him at his new location as "Bill - Hamville". I should have been entering all the 2100 locations in the "Notes ... QSO" field ... correct? I've run across numerous cases of spelling conflicts with 'boro and 'borough as they appear un the US Postal Directory. The Postal Directory spelling should be the "correct" one. The CA "Yuma" / "Yuba" County error has been noted before. How do we know when there is a update available as these little glitches get fixed and how do I get the update? 73!
