[DXBase] DXBase ADIF Export Problem

[Jack]

Tony,

It says the ARRL provided the list as of whatever date it was ( many years
ago).  It does not say the ARRL maintains keeping it updated for ADIF.
Sorry....

And in any case, as I said, it is not supported by us or very many others
either.

Cheers,
Jack
