[Dxbase] Requests for the to-do list

[Peter Dougherty]

I've been doing a little thinking tonight (hopefully the resultant smoke
wasn't a hazard to navigation). I have a couple more suggestions I'd like to
add to the ever-growing wish list.

 

.         Expand the QSL VIA field to include OQRS (Online QSL Request
System) that's now starting to take hold of larger DXpeditions. In this
case, no outbound card is sent.

.         Change around the mappings situation so that there's an actual
database field for QSL Manager associated with each individual QSO. I think
this may be a little simpler overall, especially for situations like 3V8BB,
which has had many different operators throughout the year with different
QSL routes, despite the same call. It may also make populating the manager's
field on the label/card a little more intuitive.

.         This is a big one for me: have a separate column for the QSX (as
it's data I'd like to include in labels). If this ever happens, I'd love to
have a means to look into the NOTES field for any string that's formatted
xxxx.yy or xxxxx.yy and move that value from the NOTES field into the new
QSX field. Failing that, perhaps just have the filter and populate one of
the SPECIAL fields which I could rename on a label.
