Joe, you're nothing if not dependable! Yes, please email me that report and the .ini file. However, it sounds like I'm in for more than a "few seconds" of work. My current report is only 177 lines, but of those, 99 are unique and 78 are multiples with a total of 30 individual callsigns. But...bring it on! What we don't do for DXCC bragging rights...
