Dear Mats,

Nice to hear from You. God fortsättning på det nya året.

Yes, You are right; I might have misunderstood the settings

"/S och /SA - vad är det för konstiga hemsnickrade tillägg?

OH1BGG/SA blir ju SM, Sverige i alla loggprogram och SA0 som prefix.

Inget som PTS ligger bakom i alla fall."

which in my eyes looked disrespectful.

However, if there would be any comments on the CTY files, maybe an e-mail to AD1C Jim would be a good idea. Is it not Jim, that is taking care of the updating of the CTY files? And I agree with You Mats, that we will show respect to other countries, when they use special call signs to commemorate historic events. And for a contester it is good in for instance WPX, when there are special prefixes, because that is a new multiplier, hihi.
