[Dxbase] Thoughts from Joe WA6AXE - abt DXbase's future

[Dick Wilson]

I'm with Jim...79 & also not too willing to learn yet another program.
DXBase has filled my needs quite well.

Thanks to Joe...73,

I have but 2 countries left to get so filling in the different bands and modes are my priorities and DxBase will do that and more for me.. I am not about to start out on a new path at this stage of the game and even if I were younger and had many more countries to chase down – Dxbase has served me well up to this point and I can honestly say that I am sure that it would do the same for anyone wanting to be a casual or serious DX’er..
