[Dxbase] Another flaw?

[Joseph Glockner]

George,

When I do a DXCC Award output -- I can see that the meaning
of BOTH  is "not" the CFM colmn's Both -- but indicates
that you are asking to use both the Card and also the LoTW ..
NOT  the Both from the Confirmed column of our logbook..

When I do a card only MIXED - I get a count of 274 -- when
I do a Both -- I get 275 -- the extra ONE QSO is the YV0D
(which right now is only confirmed via LoTW) ..

Hope that this helps!
