[na-user] Country file update

[Jim Reisert AD1C <jjreisert@alum.mit.edu> (Jim Reisert AD1C)]

The country files for CT/NA/TR are updated on the CT web site:

        http://www.contesting.com/ct/files/#cty

You can also get them via E-mail:

        To: ct-user-REQUEST@contesting.com      
        Subject:

        GET cty.dat
        GET history.cty

I E-mailed the update to Dave, K8CC, it should be up on the
http://www.contesting.com/datom/ site shortly.

Note that there were COUNTRY changes this time around, so if you are using
CT 8 or earlier,and you run CTYHDG to put the beam headings into your
country file, you MUST download the updated CTYHDG.PRE file also.
