In fact there may not be any flaw after all. This all began with a QSL from 8P5A that showed up on a "Card only" list, then disappeared on the "Both" list. But I discovered that the contact was one that I indeed had a card for, but ARRL had credited another Q from 8P5A on that band which was a LoTW QSL! I showed both 10m contacts as "confirmed", but of course when I did the "Both" list, 8P5A disappeared because it was then already a "credited" QSO. Except for the different interpretations of "Both" that Joe uncovered, I think DXbase is indeed picking up Q's in a repeatable way. However, I still consider "Both" like an AND-gate, not an OR-gate :-)
