[Dxbase] DXCC Award Submission puzzle

[Ron Stordahl]

The various options, no mater how selected, should only produce a list 
which will generate a valid list of DXCC cards to be checked.  That list 
should not include cards which are of no value to submit for checking.  
Otherwise I would have to select each option separately and make a 
multitude of lists from which to work.  Such separate lists would 
contain cards duplicated among the lists.

The help file indicates the power of the selection system is that it 
deals with such issues to produce a single list.

Ill study the output again, but I am quite sure there will other 
instances where cards have been selected which would result in no DXCC 
credits.

I only gave the one Cuba example as it caught my eye first.

Ron, N5IN
