[Dxbase] ADIF Import issue

[Paul Cassel]

Well with almost 5,000 Q from CQ WW weekend and with me suffering from laryngitis, there were very few Qs in my call so that is not
practical.   What I am doing is for each received card that a reply entry is made, I need to go in and edit EACH AND EVERY record in
the queue database which is by itself a major task

QUESTION
Why will DXB ignore operator call signs when the *wildcard is used?
Why does DXB allow an Unauthorized Call to be imported?

This in my mind is a BUG that needs to be addressed
