Good idea to try to create such an .exe file because almost every download of LOTW reports gives some number of contacts which have CQ Zone Number and ITU Zone Number placed inversely by mistake. So we seemed to have to use that .exe frequently now.

The LOTW import mistakes should NOT be a large part of any mistakes -- but, they will be there.. FYI - this standalone exe file "will" have the TEST ONLY button -- so that you can SEE how many CQ and/or ITU Zone entries are not correct. THEN - you can run the updater ("if" you want) -- there is not requirement for doing this!!! It is strictly up to the user. 73 Joe wa6axe ---------------------------------------- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:07:43 -0900 > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] ITU Zones > > Herein lies part of my problem - I can't type worth a hoot sometimes! > My log does show the CQ zone for IL to be 4 - it's just the ITU zone > that is in error. > > Gary AL9A > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alan Leith" > To: "'Gary AL9A'" > Cc: > Sent: February 11, 2009 3:17 PM > Subject: RE: [Dxbase] ITU Zones > > >> Did anyone catch the error?
