[DXBase] Does not populate state field

Maybe that's the secret.  I have not had a reason yet to use
"Find/Replace" but I think I've got one now, thanks.

I don't know about all that but I do know if you will load the ADIF file
into Wordpad  and do a "Find/Replace" and change all the
<ARRL_SECTION:2>
and make them <STATE:2> as below, then it should import fine.

<CALL:5>AB1BX <QSO_DATE:8>20021103 <TIME_ON:6>212903 <STATE:2>RI
<BAND:3>40M <CONTEST_ID:4>SSCW <FREQ:7>7.04291 <PREC:1>A <CK:2>96
<MODE:2>CW <RST_RCVD:3>599 <RST_SENT:3>599 <OPERATOR:5>W1EBI <SRX:3>350
<STX:1>4 <POINTS:1>2 <RADIO_NR:1>1 <EOR>
