I'm getting ready for this year's DXCC submission. Something very odd is occurring that I don't know how to solve.
My existing DXCC award is Phone only (not mixed), and I have individual band-awards for 10, 15 and 20. My submission will be for a new award for 40, stickers for 15 and 20 and overall-phone. Here's the problem. DX Base doesn't seem to realize that band awards are NOT mode specific. If I have the PHONE, 10, 15, 20, 40 and 80 boxes checked, the program ignores the CW-only contacts I have with entities on 40 and 80 metres. It seems to be looking for PHONE *and* 40, not PHONE *or* 40. Anything I have on CW is not going towards a mixed award (or a CW award), but rather just to build up my individual band-totals. At the same time, however, I need to ensure every new entity that I have worked and confirmed since my last submission is selected for the phone-only award. Is there a workaround for this? Am I mis-understanding the selection process -- or the award parameters, perhaps? Thanks. 73 de Peter (W2IRT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.nyctrackbook.com for details of my book Tracks of the NYC Subway
