[Sorry about the resend - this message did not make it to all the
reflectors. Also made a couple of corrections from the original:
- Malpelo is indeed South America
- WH0AI is indeed in the USA (Wisconsin)
]
I'm sorry about the WP2Z and KP4US fiasco this weekend. These calls
are listed in the country file under United States. The FCC database
has their addresses stateside, the automatic tools did not know they
really weren't.
I also wasn't parsing all the records in the FCC database correctly,
so these weren't the only errors (see below):
I will be deleting these exceptions listed under United States:
K0RH KH0A
K4GM KH0R
K4LW KL7CQ
K4OH KL7P
K7RL KP2AA
N3UA KP4US (*)
N7BF NH2DX
W2GB NP4H
W2RU NP4V
W3TZ WH2V
W5ZL WL7PC
W6AZ WP2Z (*)
WK4R
WT6G
WW5DX
WY4Y
K3EST (back in MD)
W6PH (operated from CA, not NH)
(*) was active in contest
Furthermore, I understand that KD3TB/VE2 and VA2VFT were both active
from CQ Zone 2 but were not previously in the country file. Any others?
I also found a few more bugs in the file:
- Western Samoa 5W is just Samoa now
- PW0ZT and PX0T weren't recognized as prefixes for Trindade, PY0T
- Fixed some calls that should have been in ARRL.CTY but weren't
Any other changes needed? I will put out a release Tuesday evening
with these changes.
