[Dxbase] New Dx-ped TX5C -- getting your CALL MAP database

[Phil Snyder]

The only problem I see with this is that if ( I know if this, if that) 
they issue that call again for some other island or other activity it 
will show up as Clipperton won't it? I believe that if you do it through 
the mapping utility you can set a date for the callsign. Then when it is 
issued again it will come up as F again when they use it for the 
Bordeaux Wine Festival special event station or whatever.
