Good afternoon to all! After looking over many aspects of various Award programs, it is well apparent that with the complexity of some of the Award Programs - many DXbase users are using other logging programs that are dedicated to just that Award.
So, with this in mind, I will help (if you want) the DXbase users who are using DXbase for the main logging program for such Awards -- this help (if you want) can be one-on-one. Myself, not being into the County Hunters program right now, did not have a "real" good feeling of what VARIOUS parts of the Award program are involved. But, after looking over the various parts of the program - and - talking with users who "are into" the program, it is well apparent that some DXbase users are opting for using the "dedicated" logging program for this Award. 73 and Cheers!

It was a real learning experience though. If you go to the county hunter web site at the map http// www. countyhunter.com/State%20and%20County/ak.gif you will find a map of the counties which are really bouroghs and the districts which are voteing districts numbered 1, 2, 3. 4 where 1 = 1st (SE) 2 = 2nd (NW) 3 = 3rd (SC) 4 = 4th (C) are is what the county hunter recognise as COUNTIES. A few Alaskins helped me out to understand this and were very helpful. A bit confuseing but if you really think about it the bourghs makes sence. All you people out there were a big help to me to get a foot hold into county hunting. DXBase has its problems like most programs. I have complete faith that DXBase will do a fine job on upgrades to help us county hunters and others out like they had for other awards. They are a bunch of dedicated people who are will to keep improveing this highly versital program. Keep The Faith, Jim From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 12 14:56:39 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Larry E Price) Date: Sat Mar 12 14:59:30 2005 Subject: [Dxbase] DXbase - let's recall the purpose of the program References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is nice that DXbase as a logging program can enhance record keeping and award application procedures. But, to be honest, I don't myself have the slightest interest in what US county hunters rules are. I am a dx'er, I would far rather have the Oblast or DOK or other geo-characteristic of a location recorded. But, I don't want to insist that DXbase keep track of those for me or auto recognize them. There are other methods of doing that. DXbase is a good, solid, useable program. It doesn't have to do everything for everyone. I would hope that we can keep the discussions a little more on track, if we can't I will have to change to the digest version of the reflector postings. 73 Larry, W4RA ----- Original Message ----- From: "WA9YSD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DXbse Forum" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 12:10 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Alaska Counties am sorry that I made my post on the problems I have been having finding some of these counties.

So I'm just getting into county chasing, iota, and collecting castles or lighthouses. Anyone willing to post help on how I can utilize the features of DXBase to track and apply for these awards will be appreciated by me. In fact, I'd go so far as to be eagerly awaited. ----------------------------------------------------- C program run. C program crash.
