[Dxbase] DXCC award submission problem

[Jack]

Wes,

OK, I'll bite.  Make up a test database.  Enter a few QSOs to demonstrate
what you claim.  Then zip it up and send it to me.  I'd love to see this in
case there is some issue.

I've already done this myself here and quite frankly, I cannot produce the
problem that your message discusses.

So, let's get to the bottom of it.

Thanks,
Courtney
