This update is not working for me. I downloaded it and ran Convert CTY, but
when I start WL and enter VERSION in the call field I get Dodecanese, not
Eastern Kiribati. I opened wl_cty.dat with Notepad and searched for
VER20101024 and I find it under Canada at XO2=VER20101024. A search for
VERSION finds it at Dodecanese. Any idea what's going on here?

> Here are the release notes:
>
> 24 October 2010 (CTY-2008)
> VER20101024, Version entity is Eastern Kiribati, T32
>
>
> Overall changes:
>
> * The size of CTY.DAT was reduced so that both CT9/10 and TR LOG can
> use it. This means that CTY.DAT is more like it was before October
> 2010, i.e. does *not* contain a full set of prefix/zone mappings
> for BY (China), K (United States), UA9 (Asiatic Russia), VE
> (Canada) and VK (Australia). If you are in need of such a file,
> use CTY_WT.DAT, which is the country file for Win-Test.
>
> * The following prefixes with zone overrides have been removed,
> because they have not been assigned:
>
> o China: 3H-3U, BB, BC, BE, BS (except BS7H) and XS
> o European Russia, Asiatic Russia and Kaliningrad: RB, RE, RH,
> RI, RP, RR and RS
> o Japan: JB and JC (no zone override)
>
> * 421 USA callsigns have zone exceptions, based on the Super Check
> Partial <http://www.supercheckpartial.com/> database released 24
> October 2009.
>
> * The following entities have more exact latitude/longitude on a
> per-prefix basis: CM (Cuba), ES (Estonia), EZ (Turkmenistan), HP
> (Panama), PZ (Suriname), TI (Costa Rica) and UK (Uzbekistan). This
> benefits both WriteLog and Win-Test (cty_wt_mod.dat only).
>
> * PJ5/PJ6 is now known as St. Eustatius and Saba.
>
>
> Added/changed Callsigns/prefixes:
>
> * 9W6MAN/2 is West Malaysia, 9M2
> * ZL5 and ZM5 are both in ITU Zone 71, not ITU zone 70
> * I0QHM/IA0PS is in ITU Zone 71, not ITU zone 70
> * KC4USC and KC4USV are both in ITU Zone 71, not ITU zone 70
> * TO3A is St. Barthelemy, FJ
