[Dxbase] Heads-up on operations using the callsign TX8F (ambiguous prefix)

[Joseph Glockner]

 Heads-up about a callsign that are in the AMBIGUOUS category for Prefixes ...
 
// TX8F //
 
Just saw that the callsign TX8F will be used in the CQ WW DX  CW Contest (Nov 26 - Nov 27, 2016)
as TX8F from the  ARANC (Association  des Radio Amateurs  en  Nouvelle-Caledonie)  
club  station  in  Noumea  (OC-032),   New Caledonia.. This callsign will default to France(F)
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 FK and then when the pop-up asks you if you want
to save this TX8F 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 ...
