John, Just for the heck of it -- I called Bill Moore at the DXCC Desk to find out some specifics on this OnLine DXCC program ... well .... there are no specifics that he could relate to me about the adi file being an option when the Program goes ONLINE for real ... he could only talk to me in very general terms and therefore, without knowing some good solid specifics -- we will just have to wait until the BETA testing phase is finished and the program is truely placed ONLINE ...
Converting the current contents of the DXCCQSO.rpt will not be an easy task -- as there is information NOT available in the report -- that will probably be needed in the ultimate adi file (if that becomes a real option). I guess that since I (myself) can not at this time become a BETA tester for the upcoming Online DXCC program -- is there anyone of the DXbase users who ARE on the BETA Test team for this OnLine DXCC Program?? If so, I would like to exchange emails with you. 73 Joe wa6axe > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:24:35 -0500 > Subject: [Dxbase] Online DXCC > > The ARRL DXCC Desk continues to beta test the Online DXCC application that > will > allow us directly input our paper cards into the DXCC database prior to > sending > cards to either a checker or HQ.
