[Dxbase] 2007 wish list

[Ed K1EP]

I frequently operate mobile for casual operations and for more serious contest operations, such as NEQP.  I like to keep all my logs from my main callsign in one database.  If not, I would have hundreds of databases from each county I operated from.  That's the point.  If I am mobile and operate from different counties, I would like a field (or two or three) that says from WHERE I operated.  Right now, I have to put a /M after my callsign and use the notes field or special field to manually enter my location information.  It is difficult then to sort entries.  When I want to send logs to LOTW, I have to manually separate operations from different counties and states.  I hope eventually LOTW will have other awards available than just DXCC and I try to upload my logs based on my operating location.   So how about some fields, like maybe FROM_STATE and FROM_COUNTY.  If I am going to operate from a DX country, I will maintain a separate database for that, it makes sense.  But all my mobile QSO's and guest operating QSO's I want in one log to make QSL'ing easier.  In addition, I would like to see a way to segregate those QSO's when outputting statistics.   Currently I use /1 or /M for my operations not from home.  When I do my OUTPUT->HF STATISTICS->COUNTRIES, I want to be able to see what countries I worked from home and not from a guest operation.  For reports, I can use the Selection Wizard.
