[Dxbase] Heads-up on upcoming DXped as TW0F (ambiguous prefix) - Joe wa6axe‏‏‏

[Joe WA6AXE]

 ALL:





Just a heads-up about a callsign that is in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ...



Just saw that the callsign TW0F will be used from Futuna island (IOTA
            OC-118) 
starting around/after 28 January 2012. This callsign will default to France (F)  because of the
Alias Map table mapping - and,  because this is one of those Ambiguous prefixes.

 

 This callsign is not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if you want, 

 simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the PREFIX column

 of your logbook mdb file to FW and then when the pop-up asks you if you want

 to save this TW0F mapped to FW -- say YES/OK ---- Then delete that dummy QSO ..

 

 The CALLMAP table will now be updated in advance so that if you work this

 station -- it will have the correct PREFIX in your logbook QSO window ...

 

 Just FYI -- Tnx Ted (K8NA) for the info.
