So let's change the double-click on the Band Activity and tell them that rather than processing it."You must enter the DXpedition call yourself in the DX Call box". de Mike W9MDB On Thursday, July 5, 2018, 11:56:20 AM CDT, Joe Taylor wrote: Jim -- On 7/5/2018 12:49 PM, Jim Brown

Joe I think there has been confusion in the ranks from two different instructions to hounds. Baker's website says to click a decode, and your instructions clearly state to put the full expedition call into the DX box. I followed your instructions. Charlie
