Thaks for the tip Colin. Will try it on the repeater data. Unfortunately 
the Call Sign data does not end up as fixed length so I wrote formulas 
looking for clues on the breaks which worked pretty well but took some 
time. Should not be necessary when it could be supplied as CSV and given 
that so many rigs these days have programming software for memories I 
would think it should be the norm for the WIA to make it available in 
that format.
