Hi Bill,
That's the problem, the LOTW is sending Country Code 344, but according to DXBase2005 (Tools -> Database Access -> Country Prefixes) P5 should be Country Code 433. Joe (WA6AXE) pointed me to http://www.hosenose.com/adif/adif.html for the official ADIF Specs, and it also says that P5 should be 433. Google searches for "ADIF specification" also point to places that show it to be 433. I can't find anything except the LOTW download that shows P5 being 344. Searching for 344 also finds nothing. Unless the DXbase database and the on-line ADIF specs are out of date, I think the ARRL is sending the wrong code for P5 North Korea. Thanks for checking and let me know if I'm missing something! By the way, I get the digest form of the reflector, so if you reply please cc: me on the reply so that I see it quicker! Thanks! ....Dave - N9FN - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 05:56:59 -0500 From: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Dxbase] LOTW Error on P5/4L4FN To: "DXBase List" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Interesting Dave. I went to my LoTW, did a search on P5/4l4fn and brought up my qsls for this country They all said under the Worked Station part DXCC DRPK (NORHT KOREA) (344) CQ ZONE 25 ITU ZONE 44 ETC. I just redownloaded my lotwreport.adi and found that P5/4L4FN does indeed have the proper .adi country code of 344. I can't imagine why your .adi and mine would be different. Unless, you downloaded yours first, a long time ago, and he since corrected the error. Only other guess is a glitch while downloading, but the CRC should have picked that up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Chasey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:07 PM Subject: [Dxbase] LOTW Error on P5/4L4FN > > > After importing LOTW records my total's dropped by one.
