it's not an issue - my idea was to collect all of my QSO's from
each logs into a single database where I can see all of them and
make several statistics, eg. DXCC status per BAND/MODE/etc.

I would avoid to store QSO's in any external database (than our
LOG), but as I explained, after the contest/periodically in a
year it would be fine to make a summary. And if the code is done,
is someone wants to store the data in DB, why not?

I'm goinf to look up my previously code and try to help Marcin.
