[SECC] cqww zone preload

[Jeff Clarke]

Andrew,

I pretty sure it doesn't preload you zone based on your call sign. I did 
a test in N1MM Logger+ and it preloads my call in zone 5 not zone 4.  I 
though it might be MASTER.SCP  or MASTER.DTA but both of those file 
contain only call sign's that are used by Super Check Partial. There is 
probably a hidden file somewhere in N1MM that has this information. The 
people who support N1MM probably update this regularly. I bet if you 
posted a question on the N1MM user group 
(https://groups.io/g/N1MMLoggerPlus) someone there would probably know 
the answer to your question.

Is it linked to the number 5 in my call sign, or is it referencing some database that has me last competing in the CQWW from zone 4? Or something else? Can I have it fixed somehow? Any suggestions?
