[Dxbase] Heads-up on operations using the callsigns TO8M and TX8D (Ambiguous Prefixes)

[Joe Glockner]

Just a heads-up about a callsign that are in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ...
 
// TO8M //
 
Just saw that the callsign TO8M will be used from Martinique (NA-107)
on November 28-29, 2015 - during the CQ WW DX CW Contest.
This callsign will default to France(F) because of theAlias 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 FM and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this TO8M mapped to FM -- 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 ...
 
// TX8D //
 
Just saw that the callsign TX8D will be used from New Caledonia
on November 28-29, 2015 - during the CQ WW DX CW Contest.
This callsign will default to France(F) because of theAlias 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 FK and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this TX8D mapped to FK -- 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 ...
