Bill - 
I switched from DXbase to the DXLab suite of daily logging s/w a number of years ago - maybe newer DXbase releases have band-mapping but I don't recall that function in the DXb versions I ran.

If no current band map support is available in DXb I would think the best solution is to use WriteLog logging during the contest to get the band mapping.  When finished with the contest use the WriteLog log export capability to generate a log file for importing into DXbase.

Unfortunately I can't remember what log import capabilities DXbase may support but surely it can import a log file in a format that WL can export.
