[SD-User] CTY-2209 Country Files - 25 May 2012

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

The Country (CTY) Files were updated on 25 May 2012.

    http://www.country-files.com/cty/

To install the file, follow the link to your software at the top of the page.


NOTE:  This release does *not* include the files for N3FJP, or the big
       CTY file. It was more important to get this done before CQ
       WPX. I will release new versions of those files over the weekend.


Here are the release notes.  If you are a NA or WF1B user, please read
the IMPORANT note below!  It is a *first* for me in the 18+ years I
have been doing this.  Everyone else, test this well *before* the
contest in case there are other problems I did not anticipate. You can
always go back to the previous version (all versions are archived on
the web site).


25 May 2012 (CTY-2209)
VER20120525, Version entity is Italy, I


        IMPORTANT:

Due to the large number of special (temporary) callsigns from the U.K.,
the files for WF1B (wf1b.dat) and NA (country.dat) contain too many
entries, and those programs may crash or work improperly if this version
of those files is used. These file formats do *not* contain the
Argentine callsigns listed below. This problem should resolve itself
before CQWW RTTY in September. In the mean time, continue to use the
previous version of the country files. You can submit a Cabrillo log and
the contest sponsors will determine the correct countries for scoring
the log.
