[Dxbase] [dxbase] CDROM lookups - final findings - Joe wa6axe

[Gary AL9A]

I am seeing with DXB2006 as I have a RAC CDROM connected.  Until Joe brought 
this up though I had not noticed the bug.  Apparently I just crank my 
antenna in the general direction of the DX without consulting the beam 
heading and distance info for each QSO and never noticed the problem.
