Thanks to everyone who submitted logs to make these files possible.

I have created a new rtty callsign database file for 2007.  Unlike previous 
releases, there is only one master rtty file now.  I
will no longer update the old "master" rtty file which grew to nearly 29,000 
callsigns.  I feel this huge file was no longer
manageable, contained too many errors and old calls and hogged too much memory 
that it was no longer useful.

The new file contains known callsigns worked in RTTY contests in 2005 and 2006 
plus a few others added upon request.  There are
8,920 callsigns in the new file.

The RTTY callsign database file comes in two formats.  The .DTA file is used 
with WriteLog and the Super Check Partial function plus
callsign highlighting in the Rttyrite window.  The .DTA file is also used with 
N1MM logger.  The .CAL file is an ASCII text file
containing the same callsigns as the .DTA file.  This file can be used with 
programs which require the .CAL format such as WF1B.

These two files plus a readme.txt file are contained in a single zipped file 
located at:

http://rttycontesting.com/aa5au_rtty070101.zip

There is a link to the file on the rttycontesting.com Downloads page.  For 
WriteLog users, instructions on setting the .DTA file can
be found at:

I hope to see everyone is the ARRL RTTY Roundup.  Happy New Year!

73, Don AA5AU
