I'm sorry that my attempts to be culturally sensitive caused so much controversy! I am not trying to re-write the DXCC list.
I will return Hawai'i to its original (ARRL-sanctioned) spelling in the next release. 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] Mon Aug 7 12:28:22 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dave Sharred) Date: Mon Aug 7 16:13:24 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Country names and states In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jim >From my perspective, the change the AK names makes perfect sense; they will then be exactly what it says on the cards! 73 Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: 07 August 2006 00:49 To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Country names and states I think the County Hunters refer to the AK counties as 1st Judicial ... 4th Judicial. I could change this in DX4WIN if that makes sense. As far as HI counties, there are 5: HI001,Hawai'i HI002,Honolulu HI003,Kalawao HI004,Kauai HI005,Maui Except for Kalawao, the other four are named for the island where the county seat is (well, Honolulu is on the island of Oahu, but you get the idea). The island of Molokai is in Maui county. Kalawao is a special enclave on the island of Molokai. It is one of the rarest of the 3077 counties.
