[Dxbase] DXCC award submission problem

[Peter Dougherty (W2IRT)]

I'm getting ready for this year's DXCC submission. Something very odd is 
occurring that I don't know how to solve.

My existing DXCC award is Phone only (not mixed), and I have individual 
band-awards for 10, 15 and 20. My submission will be for a new award for 
40, stickers for 15 and 20 and overall-phone. Here's the problem. DX Base 
doesn't seem to realize that band awards are NOT mode specific. If I have 
the PHONE, 10, 15, 20, 40 and 80 boxes checked, the program ignores the 
CW-only contacts I have with entities on 40 and 80 metres. It seems to be 
looking for PHONE *and* 40, not PHONE *or* 40.

Anything I have on CW is not going towards a mixed award (or a CW award), 
but rather just to build up my individual band-totals. At the same time, 
however, I need to ensure every new entity that I have worked and confirmed 
since my last submission is selected for the phone-only award.

Is there a workaround for this? Am I mis-understanding the selection 
process -- or the award parameters, perhaps?

Thanks.
