I don't know if it's just my day to have computer problems but when I 
download 1069 it seems to install 1068. No biggie but am I the only one?

> 23 JANUARY 2009
> NEW NA RELEASE 10.69 NOW AVAILABLE
>
> A new version of the NA contest logging program is now available
> from the Radio Bookstore or the DATOM Engineering web site at
> http://www.datomonline.com.
>
> For those who notice such things, the last general release of NA was
> version 10.66 back in March 2008.  Since then, there have been a couple of
> limited releases as we worked to debug problems or develop new features.
> 10.69 has been used in several contests from the K8CC station and is quite
> stable.
>
> The primary reason for 10.69 is to support rule changes for the CQ 160M
> contest, where DX stations now send their CQ zone in their exchange rather
> than a poorly defined country abbreviation.  Prior NA versions can be used
> under these new rules by simply typing in the received zone, but 10.69 
> adds
> convenience because it inserts the CQ zone automatically for non-domestic
> (W/VWE) stations.
>
> Changes in Revision 10.69
>
> *   Updated Cabrillo file formatting to revision 3.0, and changed the Log
>    File Information screen to more accurately support the Cabrillo descr-
>    iptions for entry categories.
> *   Revised CQ 160 Contest to default received exchange for DX QSOs to 
> their
>    CQ zone to support new rules for 2009.
>
> Changes in Revision 10.68
>
> *   Corrected RS-232 command protocol error with setting radio frequency
>    for FT817/857 - (tnx to AK0M for his detective work on this).
> *   CW sending would not work correctly in mixed mode with RTTY enabled -
>    (tnx K9TM)
> *   Band selection window would not allow de-selecting unused bands.
> *   In contests with list+DX multipliers, the Alt-M multiplier window 
> would
>    not show the DX mults.
> *   In CQWW, when checking zone-QSOs with F10, QSOs would be shown with 
> the
>    country of the zone multiplier instead.
> *   In CQWW, the QSOs Per Multiplier breakdown for zones were inaccurate
>    (tnx N4XM).
> *   Fixed crash with the Bandchanges Per Hour breakdown and made the
>    breakdown always appear along with the QSOs Per Hour breakdown (used
>    to only appear in contests with limits on multi-op bandchanges).
> *   Added report in .BRK file for the number of CQs called and the number
>    of times stations were called during the contest.
> *   Added capability to set the non-active VFO with the minus key on Yaesu
>    FT817/857 radios.
>
> Changes in Revision 10.67
>
> *   When using SO2R, the default RST on the alternate radio would always 
> be
>    599 regardless of the mode - fixed (tnx W8MJ).
> *   Callsigns with non-standard portables needed to be matched on the full
>    callsign to correctly identify the country (example: 9M6/N1UR = 
> Spratly,
>    not East Malaysia) - fixed (tnx K8MP).
> *   Added option to send QSO numbers by band-mode, in addition to the
> current
>    option to send QSO numbers by band.
> *   Reallocated two characters from the end of the "Address2" field on the
>    Information Sheet to the "Club" field accomodate the name "Society Of
>    Midwest Contesters" per K9MMS's request.
