[Dxbase] vp8b prefix

[Joseph Glockner]

Dave,

With regards to FULL Callsigns like VP8BKF and VP8BF --
simply  ADD those callsigns to the CALL MAP table .. this
is the reason why the CALL MAP table is there - so that you can
MAP a FULL Callsign to a "different" PFX and zone(s).

You can select the proper information in the CALL MAP
table - when you add those two callsigns.. The CALL MAP
table is the first one looked at when trying to determine
the entity/zone(s) -- once the FULL call is inserted/added
-- and you type-in the FULL callsign(s) in your logbook -
they will be populated correctly.
