[WT-support] Database History

[Oliver Grossmann]

Hi Bob,
thanks for reply. But in the wiki is an example with double Calls and
diffrent locators. And in the discription of the perl script: "e.g.
one station is listed with several different locators". If there will
be always the locator of last (location in file)call entry. I dont
need the first one, or not?

I tried already the possibility of the Extra Data files and this point
isnt bad, but in my "old old old" vhf log Programm you can get History
information over years and you can see that e.g. DH2WQ is always
working from 57GN in August and 39VX in October.

Maybe this is only a wish from my side.

73, Olli, DH2WQ
