This is exactly the point I'm making myself. >When selecting the Phone + 40m you would expect to see QSOs that qualify for >the Phone award and any additional QSOs that could add to your 40m band >award without regard for the mode. Yes, but DX Base *isn't* doing that in my case. Let's say for the sake of discussion that I have 10 new entities on 40 metres - 5 on phone and 5 on CW. If I have PHONE and 40 both checked, DX Base will ONLY return the five phone contacts. If I have MIXED and 40 selected, all ten contacts will be selected. If I have CW and 40 checked, only the five CW contacts will be selected. The way it *should* work is in each case above, all ten should come back for each query. Band should trump mode. Right now, mode trumps band. >If you already have a country on 40m >credited ( regardless of mode ) this same country will not be selected again >for 40m band award regardless of mode. Yes, agreed, as it isn't necessary. 73 de Peter (W2IRT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.nyctrackbook.com for details of my book Tracks of the NYC Subway
