[Dxbase] DXBase/Colorable DXCC Map

[Keith Burt]

   Hi Joe,

   Sorry  for  the delayed response, just been on a too busy for computer
   week.  To  answer  your  first  question,  the map I used to use was a
   standard CQ DXCC map picked up at Dayton, maybe 30 X 40.

   This  sounds pretty cool what you are working on, and I thank everyone
   for  their  responses! I will check out DXAtlas, think I had the free,
   not fully funtional, trial version a while back.

   I  don't  want to make this too difficult, but just an idea. Could the
   pin  export  report  be  tied to a search function in DXBASE, like the
   Output/Countries  where  you  highlight options to get reports, rather
   than  the  full  database?  That  way  people could narrow it down for
   specific goals, say working on a specific band or mode.

   Thanks again for all that you do Joe! Much appreciated.

   73 Keith N5RA
