In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Going forward, my plan is to do quarterly releases of the DX4WIN country file. 
My scheduled dates are:

  1 March
  1 June
  1 September
  1 December

These dates seem reasonable to me.  1 March gets you through the two ARRL DX
contests, 1 June gets you through the CQ WPX contests, and 1 December gets you
through the CQWW DX contests.

I am still happy to take differences from your own log.  Please go to:

  http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/

and follow the "Country File" link at the top.  Remember that merging your old
country database with the new one may bring back old errors.  It's better to
use the new database, letting me know of any needed changes.  This way everyone
benefits, and we're not chasing down old problems.

Subject: [Dx4win] New Country List
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Just imported the new country list.. superb! After careful studying of the
"discrepencies", I found out that most of the time the list was correct and
my old log was wrong. It even found a Mt. Athos QSO on 20 meters!

The problems I did find fell mostly into 2 categories, both related to
Soviet/Russian callsigns.

1) UA9S and UA9W calls are in Zone 16. The list currently has them going
into Zone 17. Both DXAtlas and your own list at
http://www.ad1c.com/HamRadio/russia_a.htm verify Zone 16 is correct.

2) The list currently tries to resolve Soviet-era Special Event Callsigns
with an "E" prefix on a call by call basis. But they can be deciphered like
this: Take the call EO9ACS. The "republic"/oblast can be figured out by
taking the first letter after the prefix (the "A"), followiing it by the
number in the prefix (the "9"), and then by the second letter after the
prefix. This gives you A9C. Look up UA9C in an old Soviet prefix list, and
you get Asiatic Russia and the proper Oblast/Region.

Other examples:

EK8HWT is  H8W, and UH8W was Turkmenistan

EU0G is UG0, which was Armenia.

EO2QGL is UQ2G, which was Latvia

EO5BIM is UB5I, which was Ukraine
