Here is the list of changes:

28-Feb-95       * Added 3D2CT and 3D2CU as callsigns for Conway Reef, 3D2/c.
(CTY-502)       * Added GB6AR to callsign list for Wales, GW.
                * Removed LU1ZS from prefix list for S. Shetlands, VP8/h.
                * Added ZK1UVO, ZK1VDX and ZK1VTK to prefix list for
                  North Cooks, ZK1/n.

The files are available from a number of sources (listed in easiest/soonest
to hardest/latest order):

1.  Send a message to CT-USER-REQUEST@eng.pko.dec.com to request the file(s)
    you want, i.e.:

        GET cty.dat
        GET arrl.cty
        GET history.cty

    Remember that file names are in lower case.  Multiple file requests on
    separate lines are OK.  The files are there NOW.

2.  Send a message to CT-USER REQUEST@eng.pko.dec.com and get the whole .ZIP
    file in UUencoded form.  If you don't already have a program to
    UUdecode, you will need to get UUD.COM as well:

        GET cty.zip
        GET uud.com     (optional)

    Remove the headers and trailers from the UUD.COM mail message so that
    the resulting file begins with "ENC.COM.B&F=" and ends with "z!1", and
    save it to UUD.COM.  Then remove the headers and trailers from the
    CTY.ZIP mail message so that the resulting file begins with "begin 664
    cty.zip" and ends with "end".  Save this to a file called CTY.UU.  Then
    on your PC type:

        C:\> uud cty.uu

    This should create the CTY.ZIP file.

3.  FTP the file from:

        maspar.maspar.com:/pub/k2mm/ct-files/cty.zip

    This is an ANONYMOUS FTP server.  When you get the username
    prompt from gatekeeper, log in as anonymous, and use your EMAIL
    address (i.e. reisert@eng.pko.dec.com) as the password.  Then
    'cd' to /pub/k2mm/ct-files, type 'binary' then 'get cty.zip'.

    John K2MM is pretty good about keeping the latest files in there.  Look
    for a file dated February 28, 1995 or later.

4.  FTP the file from:

        gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/misc/hamradio/cty.zip

    This is an ANONYMOUS FTP server.  When you get the username
    prompt from gatekeeper, log in as anonymous, and use your EMAIL
    address (i.e. reisert@eng.pko.dec.com) as the password.  Then
    'cd' to /pub/misc/hamradio, type 'binary' then 'get cty.zip'.

    This may take several days to catch up - look for a file dated
    February 28, 1995 or later.

5.  Download the file CTY-502.EXE from the CT BBS at 508-460-8877.
    I will upload it Tuesday afternoon, 2/28, but it may take a couple
    of days for K1EA to move it to the public area, and include it with
    UPD-CT.

6.  Download the file CTY-502.ZIP from the DX BBS at 502-898-8864.
    I will upload it Tuesday afternoon 2/28.

As always, please send me any corrections.
