[ct-user] Re: [YCCC] CT 9.45 Ten meter contest problem - help

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

All the CT to ADIF conversion does is to convert the data.  It does not do 
any prefix checking when it exports the data.  DXbase needs to ignore those 
STATE fields when the QSO is not USA.  This is a problem with DXbase.
