[Dxbase] Question

[Jack]

Sorry Tim, but I gotta agree with some others.  Your simple question would 
have been fine until you had to add the sarcasm about "why you have a 
logging program".  Pretty cheap shot since the ARRL hasn't even assigned the 
rules/prefixes/designations yet.

In any case, why don't you just log the darn contacts and put a note in the 
comments section so you can later make the change to the prefix field once 
the refdata entries are assigned.

Cheers
