[DXLog.net - Support] DXLog - CaQP Observations

[9A5K]

Hi Dave.

Problem with prefilling from database and not from previous qso, was
discovered during the weekend,
and I've already fix it.. now it works as it suppose to, data is taken from
database if there isn't previous qso.
If previous qso exists, data is taken from it.

Also, bandmap data wasn't displayed properly, which is also noted in
DL5AXX's post.
Fixed yesterday. Problem was that RecInfo field wasn't filled properly when
adding data either from cluster or
from manually adding data in database.

I agree about note of adding own call.. this should just be logged in
without any checkings needed, as it will be
marked as invalid qso anyway ("------")...

Thanks for report Dave.

73,
Chris - 9A5K
