Peter N5UWY,
It was not you. I just checked and your call is not in the aa5vu.tq8
file. This topic was beat (talked) to death last year. Mouse selection
or capture of a report with a dash separator just causes more key
strokes. When I would see the IL-IL, I would just type in the report.
That was easier than trying to correct it.
I don't know why some people like to send reports with a dash but
the operators that sent both (599 IL-IL IL) were okay.
