I am waiting for my upgrade but reading about various situations which are occurring so I can be ready for them. (I don't want to use the word problems) Regarding the country/prefix problem Don experienced, I thought I had read that the country file supplied with the upgrade was up to date and so VP6DI, K5K, K1B, AH3D, etc, etc, would be logged correctly. If not, what do I need to do to be sure that they are? Otherwise I can foresee my DXCC count being off. Does anyone have a good, up to date, country list to use? TIA & 73
