I have a problem that I've been unable to find an answer to. R1ANF/A was in
CQWW CW from Antarctica, in zone 13. In NA, it put him in European Russia
during the contest. No problem, I thought. After the contest I went into
the country.dat file and added R1ANF/A to the end of the Antarctica calls
using the standard ,R1ANF/A; as the final entry. I then went to NAU and
generated new country lists. I then opened my NA log to check everything. I
lost points somehow. So In order to find the error, I noted the countries
and zones total, re-edited the country.dat file to remove R1ANF/A. When I
next opened the file in NA, my points were back and I discovered the
discrepancy was on 20 meters.

Next, I re-edited (again) the country.dat file and added his call back in,
re-ran nau, and then reopened na. Much to my surprise, NA kept the original
point structure and counted R1ANF/A as European Russia again.

I've gone over my process several times and checked and re-checked the
country.dat file and I see no errors. R1ANF/A is in the Antarctica list,
but after re-making country lists, NA still puts him in European Russia.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I might be doing wrong? I cannot see
what I'm missing.

I also have a wierd display problem with 10.43, but that subject I'll get
into later.

Thanks all,
