Hahahaha - nearly wet myself reading that !! I suppose you're referring to
the famous zone list here:

http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/wazlist.html

I was thinking of starting a small competition to spot how many errors there
are on that page. I've counted 20+ so far. Have sent two emails to  "Paul
Blumhardt" k5rt@attbi.com the guy who is supposed to be in charge of this,
but both were ignored. Some changes have been made recently, but there's
still plenty to go.
