Thanks for the quick response and explanation. He told me he was at the Vostok Russian Antartica Station at Lat 78 South & Long 107 East. I looked on my Radio Amateur World Atlas and can see where he is. Perhaps he should have used /R1 as his stroke designator.
I just tried this and DXbase now sets the WPX to R1 and says that he is in Russia. I think I'll take your suggestion and use /KC4 Thanks, Tom, N0YD "Yankee Doodle" --- FireBrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AN is a prefix for Spain.
