[Dxbase] [dxbase] Results of the "3" CDROM tests -- Joe wa6axe

[Stephen Colello]

Is there a way to "turn off" the RAC look-up. I tried turning it off in Options, but it didn't seem to turn off.

  ALL:

  Dennis (K6DS) had a HamCall CDROM and provided me with his results a minute ago --

  SO - now we have the final results of ALL 3 of the CDROM's that DXbase supports

  RAC (Flying Horse) Callbook CDROM -- because each of the records on this CD contains
  the COORDINATES for the DX Station -- this RAC CDROM will   "NOT"   give the correct  Beam Heading and
  Distance.

  QRZ and HamCall Callbook CDROMs -- BOTH of these CDROMS are ALL OK and WILL provide the
  proper Beam Heading and Distance --- this is possible because neither of these CDROM records
  contains any coordinates info for the DX Station..

  As long as the DXbase User (with a RAC CDROM Lookups) remembers that their  Beam Headings
  and Distance  "WILL NOT be correct" -- the Other info from the RAC CDROM will populate all ok ...

  Just providing the results of this look-see as FYI to all users!
