Editing the Special CallSigns database
Since editing the prefix database is a rather delicate and risky operation (see below), in the
particular case of you can not wait for the next update and you only need to define a special
callsign as a reference for the DXCC Award (during a special event, a new DX-Pedition or even
your friends), it is recommended you edit the Special CallSigns database (
specialcallsigns.mdb). This method is highly recommended for short callsigns with 3 letters.
The specialcallsigns.mdb database is created (empty) the first time you open the module. This
database is personal and preserved each time you update TRX-Manager. TRX-Manager
searches first for a strict match with any callsign defined in this database before doing a full
search in the Prefix database (the special call signs database has the priority over the Prefix
database).
Editing the database is done from the Special CallSigns tab. Click to create a new record
and to save the current report or the changes. The [+] button (next to the DXCC field)
allows you to select the DXCC country in the list. You may personalize the Longitude,
Latitude, CQZ, ITUZ, Territory fields for a perfect match with the location of the station so
that Azimut and Distance, CQZ, ITUZ are properly populated.
