[Dxbase] Heads-up on upcoming DXpeditions as VP8STI and VP8SGI (Ambiguous Prefixes)

[Joe Glockner]

Just a heads-up about 2 callsigns that are in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ...
 
 
// VP8STI // 
 
 Just saw that the callsign VP8STI from South Thule Island (South Sandwich)
 will be active  during Jan/Feb 2016. This callsign will default to Falkland Islands 
 because of the Alias Map table mapping.
 
 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 VP8S and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
 to save this VP8STI mapped to VP8S -- 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 ...
 

// VP8SGI // 
 
 Just saw that the callsign VP8SGI from South Georgia Island
 will be active  during Jan/Feb 2016. This callsign will default to Falkland Islands 
 because of the Alias Map table mapping.
 
 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 VP8G and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
 to save this VP8SGI mapped to VP8G -- 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
