Gary (et al),

Mystery solved.

I've been informed by a lurker on this reflector who for obvious reasons
shall otherwise go un-named that the problem is a date mismatch.  Which does
now make me wonder if some of the records converted to ADIF might be a touch
off... I'm NOT looking forward to checking almost 15,000 records though!

Oh well, I'll just have to dig the AH3D QSL card out of the vault and
compare it to my database, and make the appropriate corrections!  (And if
they match, well, that's a different issue)

Which, as a sidenote, does bring up an interesting point.  As useful as
Logbook is and will continue to be, the trade in paper QSL's may diminish
but will take a long time, if ever, to completely disappear.  When a bit
gets dropped and the computer records disagree, there's nothing like a
physical card as proof to end all arguments!
