This is a very difficult problem to solve. How do you tell the program that AX is Australia, but AX# may not be? DX4WIN trys to match on the longest thing it can find - first callsign, then 4-letter prefixes, then 3 then 2. You would end up not mapping ANY prefixes, and just have callsign mappings for these entities. Do you know how big the country file would be (i.e. listing all VP8 callsigns in the Falklands)? More often than not, an announcement preceeds the operation from one of these special entities. AX0MT was the exception, unfortunately. We have become too accustomed to software and spotting, instead of just tuning around, working what sounds interesting, then worrying later. 73 - Jim AD1C ===== Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 26 11:57:11 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (wo2n) Date: Wed Jan 26 12:03:39 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] Editing the country file gives you no special privileges References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AX would be Australia.
