Hi all - I tried updating after my first attempt in logging a Ypres station fff-0056 - but in the main QSO reference view i only have a few showing. In the award utility I can however see the reference. Is there an issue with V2.8.0 and the display in GUI for QSO's? Or am I doing something wrong?

Did you do an award database update?

Ok it is working, but I hadn't realised the software trims the references available based on the call sign. So changing from Belgium callsign to a French ones reveals the FFF-0056 search. Is this normal and how do I log Belgium call signs with French FFF references? Thanks John

If we did not filter according to country, which is determined from the call sign, you would have to search about 100,000 WWFF References.

The only way a Belgium station could activate a French WWFF would be to use a French prefix like F/ON1ABC because he is in France.

On rare occasions with some awards the ref spans an international border and you then need to add the ref, this is a very rare occurrence and is covered in our user guide in the SOTA section but same would apply to WWFF

Thank you Terry, I guess knowing how the awards work I could have worked backwards and figured it out now. I'll know for future. Thank you.
