New feature on QSL Bureau Web Site

A little while ago I was advised by Rich # 11048 that he had changed his 
call from KI4FWE to KI4FW

This got me to thinking whether we could modify our "Use Search" feature on 
the QSL Bureau web site to
advise this call change when you typed in KI4FWE.

So I contacted my friend and computer expert, Anthony, WM3T and asked him 
whether that could be done.

He said sure, and modified the "Use Search" feature so that if you type in 
KI4FWE you will get the reply:

	KI4FWE has a new call KI4FW

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then he went a step further and modified the "Status Search" feature so 
that if you type in KI4FWE you
will get a reply of:

	Status for KI4FWE as of 02-12-2005
	Cards on Hand:
	Envelopes on Hand:

	KI4FWE has a new call, KI4FW

	No Record Found.

The Cards on Hand and the Envelopes on Hand are both <blank>

But the words "KI4FWE has a new call," are in red.  And KI4FW is in 
blue.  If you click on KI4FW you
will get a reply of the status:

  	Status for KI4FW as of 02-12-2005
	Cards on Hand: 2
	Envelopes on Hand: 2

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Right now in addition to KI4FWE ---> KI4FW we have:

	AE7RW ---> KR7W
	KD5UZJ ---> WN5KNY
	WB3CPG ---> W8CPG

I will be adding in the "old call" information for additional members who 
have had cards and envelopes at the
Bureau and who have recently changed their call.

If you want your old call included in the "Use Search" feature let me know 
and I'll include it in the file.

My "Hat is off once again" to Anthony, WM3T for providing these added 
features to the web site.

this added feature to work on your
computer.
