[Dxbase] Suggestion

Another suggestion for the next release is an additional field for 
ISLAND NAMES.  I would estimate the field would have to be about 30 
character to facilitate all the long names. Also it would have to be 
a field we can search on.

Why the need for this ? Simply put, the RSGB from time to time will 
delete a particular island within a IOTA group. Once they do this we 
need to come up with a replacement OR work a station on one of the 
other VALID islands. There is a good possibility however that we 
already have one but short of searching through all our cards there 
is no way of knowing.

If we were to add this feature we could log the Island Names and once 
one is deleted we could easily search for a replacement if we are 
lucky enough to have one.
