[Logic] RADIO AMATEUR CALLBOOK CEASING PUBLICATION IN NOVEMBER

[PDA]

Hi everyone.

Sorry to hear about the demise of RAC.

The interface to  Buckmaster works!  It 
correctly display the info they send us.  The 
problem is that they don't send the  mailing 
country name to us.  So I get it out of 
LOGic's prefix table.  Sometimes the 
Location field has additional info in it.

Be assured that the superior handling of 
country in RAC was because of product 
differences, not us purposely making it this 
way just to support our RAC sales. 

The ultimate solution would be to add a 
MAILING COUNTRY field to the prefix table.  
However, it looks like the web is going to 
take over, and so far all of the web sites we 
access return the country name.

A solution that is available now is to remove 
the extraneous info from the DXCC field in 
the Prefix table.

If anyone knows where to get a ZIP-county 
table, I can add that to LOGic so it can log 
county without it being in the callbook 
database.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY
