I can assure you that I was in the US Virgin Islands last weekend. There
are even pictures on http://wp2aa.com . The ARRL will hopefully use the
correct country list so whether your log shows zero points or three or a
KP2 mult or not will not matter. I hope that people did not delete the QSO
or not call me based on what their software showed. This was my third and
possibly final contest as WP2AA. Prior to the contest, I was totally
unaware that the latest country file was incorrect. My operation was
listed on NG3K's contest operations and in many DX bulletins. I seemed to
get a lot of N1MM users questioning my location so it would be nice if
someone could forward this to the N1MM list. For all that did work me,
thanks for the QSOs. Please QSL via WD9DZV.

Jim and WriteLog users
If so, I need to warn everyone who used WriteLog in the ARRL DX SSB last
weekend that the call WP2AA comes up as United States and NOT U.S. Virgin
Islands. I worked them on four bands and corrected my log from United States
to KP2 U.S. Virgin Islands after each contact. After the contest I went back
to the above mentioned WL_CTY.DAT file and searched for WP2AA. It shows
WP2AA as a USA entry WP2AA(5)[8].
What is strange is when I enter WP2AA into my regular logger DX4WIN it shows
up as KP2 U.S. Virgin Islands. But I have not updated my DX4WIN CTY file for
awhile so maybe the latest DX4WIN CTY file also has WP2AA mapped
incorrectly.
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone who worked WP2AA in the ARRL
DX SSB
