Hi Folks, In DX4WIN.CTY #116 I made this change:
http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/release.shtml#116 "KG1, KG6, KJ6, KM6, KS6, KV4 and KW6 starting 24 March 1978 (not 1 January 1979) are United States, K. (change)" These were changed so as not to overlap the new systematic callsign allocation system that went into effect on 24 March 1978: http://www.w5yi.org/page.php?id=281 The collateral damage from this change is that some people's QSOs may have fallen through the cracks, prefix-wise. For example, tonight I discovered that WA4CGM/KV4 who I worked on 10 July 1978 was coming up as USA instead of US Virgin Islands, KP2. So I'm asking yet another favor. Please check your logbooks for stations operating from USVI using a KV4 prefix. In your preferences, set callsign searching to "Substring" and using F8, search for KV4. I'm only concerned with 2x2 calls beginning with KV4 (like KV4AA) and stations operating portable from KV4 (like WA4CGM above). The latest QSO one I've ever found is from 1986 (!) so there's no need to search later. Let me know if you find any assigned to USA that you think should be assigned to USVI, especially if you have a QSL card. If you want to check the other prefixes above, more power to you, but right now, KV4 seems to be the problem. KX6 callsigns (2x2 or portable) may have the same problem. Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. new country file in a day or two with fixes for VP2 calls that I broke in the last release. I'm still waiting for a couple pieces of information. -- 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
