Whoa, talk about a fast turn around! Very good Joe. Glad the problem was apparently fairly easy to find and correct. Hard to believe that some other AXETTY user hasn't run into this problem before, unless I'm the only LOTW user who tried to upload a call with a slashed zero. I will down load the new version and then be on the look out for someone with a zero in the call to test it! Thanks again for putting the rapid response team on the problem.
