[Dxbase] Band "Description" Different

[Bob Main]

I was trying to create a report to show me which SSB stations in the US that I have confirmed on 80 mtrs.  I looked in the log and in the "Band" column the bands are defined in wavelength (10, 12, 15, 17, 20, etc.), but if you are creating a report the field of "Band" is in frequency. It is confusing if the log says the contact was on a "Band" of 80, but a report says the "Band" is 3.5.  I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any hits with BAND="80", then I noticed that instead of 20 mtrs in the Band column of the report it was showing 14.   Why the difference and why can't they be the same?

Just wondering because it makes things confusing.
