[Dxbase] Grids

How do you determine which grid a QSL is in if the country is in more than one grid?  For instance, Nepal is in 3 grids, but I know the city that the person was in.  Or if they are in Antarctica, which is a BUNCH of grids, if the card shows the Lat/Long.

Sure wish there was an easy way to do this, especially if the country is in one grid then those could at least be filled in automatically.  Luckily those are done.  Actually after being a ham for 27+ yrs I only have 678 QSLs and 287 of those are pre-1980.  Unfortunately most of what is left is first half of 1980s.

Guess this is one time that only having 1739 QSOs will pay off.

I ran Joe's report and at the top of the report it had something like 168 of 1739, but never did figure out what that meant.  I know that I have 347 QSLs with grids listed, because I used my report and pulled them from the database.

Oh well back to reading, I need a break.
