[WriteLog] CTY-2302 Country Files - 22 February 2013

Fri Feb 22 14:18:58 EST 2013

Randy,

When you run the Convert CTY utility the wl_cty.dat is placed in 
C:\ProgramData\WriteLog.  At least that's where it's at on my Vista system. 
I have WL installed in Program Files.  The new prefixes appear to be scoring 
correctly for me.  Z6/S52DD won't count correctly in ARRL DX because Z6 is 
not yet recognized by the DXCC desk.  It isn't recognized there because the 
ITU hasn't approved it as a country yet and until that happens it won't be 
approved for DXCC.

73,
Gary AL9A
