Pete-

Your TRMASTER.DTA has some interesting entries for CQ Zones.  For
example, N6AA is shown in zone "CA", not "03".

This is the problem. 

Normally, you don't need to put entries in for the CQ Zone, unless
you need to over-ride the computation made from the data in cty.dat.

I will create a new feature to allow you to clear out the zones in 
the TRMASTER database.   It will be the POST U E C command which can
be used to clear out any of the data fields.

This will clear up the problem you were having with weird zones.
