[Dxbase] ModifiedDxccqso.rpt

Fri May 20 13:41:06 EDT 2005

Boy, talk about service!  This morning Joe called me direct and pointed out
the error of my ways.  As usual, severe pilot error was involved.  I had
numbered my multiple Q cards with a unique number (YYMMDDn) per QSO
confirmed, not per CARD!  Changed the numbers so all Q's on the card are
numbered the same and ran the report.  Still no joy until I played around
with the choices in the DXCC Award type check boxes.

This is my first DXCC application as AL9A and I had only checked Phone as
the desired filter.  This selects 117 cards, but the multiple QSO cards are
sorted by band and callsign as only ONE of the multiple QSO's on the card is
being selected to confirm the country on ONE of the bands.  When I check
Phone and multiple individual band check boxes the report produces 163 hits
with the multiple QSO cards correctly sorted at the end of the list!  This
report confirms the several other countries on multiple bands, I suppose for
an eventual 5BDXCC award.

Sooo, this leads me to a new question.  Since the ARRL form says the initial
application fee covers up to 120 cards what is the recommended drill?
Should I:
1. Send the 117 cards with the multiple Q cards sorted by band and callsign
(only using one of the Q's)?
2. Send all 163 cards and pay extra for the overage above the 120 card
limit?
3.Exclude the five multiple Q cards altogether and send in 112 single QSO
cards for the initial award?
