Please, Jim.....tell me it isn't true! A contester lying to increase his score!! Next you'll be telling me that some of them run illegal power!!! Seriously, as a DXer, I think I want the zone mappings to agree with the callsign and put the "zone spoofers" in as exceptions. Thanks for all the hard work that you've put in. 73, Roger -- Remember the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) http://ussliberty.org/ From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 26 13:46:23 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sven Arne Astrup) Date: Wed May 26 11:50:12 2004 Subject: [Dx4win] Error on packet window References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hallo John!
