The VALID column apparently works only for DXCC statistics. If a pirate call or a beacon is placed in the log, the call still appears as a valid entry in your WAS, WPX, etc. statistics. Many serious vhf/uhf dxers keep records of beacons for propagation purposes.
In my old paper log, I probably would have written K6MYC's call in bold letters across an entire page when I copied his 6 meter EME signals bouncing off the moon for the first time. It would be nice if I could make such an entry in my computer log without distorting the statistics. Dxbase does a great job of telling me that my 7O1YGF entry along with a buck will buy me a cup of coffee but a simple valid/non-valid option would make the program a lot more flexible.

If I wanted to take DX Base on a portable operation by loading it on my laptop, am wondering if there was a way to append those files to the database residing on my desk-top PC where DX Base currently resides?

I have 133,000 QSOs in LoTW with 10,000 QSLs, but only 20 are before 1990. It seems like entering QSOs from old paper logs into LoTW is not likely to yield many hits... Stu KC1F
