Thanks - I'll will fix that.

Yes, I found this the hard way myself, doing an 80m SO Unassisted entry,
and this did not tally with the testing I had done when "fixing" the
problem since the SSB contest.  The difficulty is/was that, when testing
on a new file, the US zones are correct every time.  The problem arises
only when you have logged one or more of the individual "zone exception"
calls listed under the entry for the US (or VE) in the CQWW.CTY file -
there are the calls preceded by "=".  Now that I know the cause, I will
fix it - and please accept my apologies for the inconvenience while
logging.

I assume, for the moment, that this "effect" is causing the problem
with Russian zones also.
