I think this was because Zone 17 is Asia, while Zone 16 is Europe, and in CQWW, contacts with a different continent count MORE than contacts with the same continent, so you could earn more points working Europe by saying that you are in Zone 17 (Asia). Then the CQWW committee stepped in and said they would count UA9S/T/W as Zone 16, regardless of what the operator actually sent. So the contest country files defaulted to Zone 16, and if you didn't listen and just hit ENTER, that's what you'd get (regarless of what the operator sent, and what you should have copied). That was several years ago, and since I have never worked many stations in that oblast, I don't know what they send nowadays. I'm inclined to just leave DX4WIN alone. I'm sure you and others can live with this one zone mismatch. It's not like you haven't worked a lot of zone 16/17 stations already, right? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
