Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #21.7 - 23 March 2021
> https://www.country-files.com/dx4win-cty-21.7-23-march-2021/ This is a pretty big release if you are chasing "Islands on the Air" (IOTA). It started as an attempt to add European IOTAs from 2010-2021 that begin with the letter 'P' (only The Netherlands [Holland] PA), which I did. I moved on to the calls beginning with 'R', but found that most of them had already been added to the database. Something sparked me to revisit all the IOTA associated with Papua New Guinea, P2. The upcoming S21DX DXpedition had me reviewing all the IOTA in Bangladesh. I also learned that there is a little part of Market Reef (OJ0) that counts as Sweden, SM for DXCC purposes. Then I got a little carried away researching a list of several thousand callsigns (by date) that my software indicated needed to be reviewed (that job is far from over). I honestly do not know how many IOTA operations were added to the country file this time around, but it was at least 860 (that's the last number I remember seeing). After the database is released for DX4WIN 9.0x users, if you are an IOTA chaser, please run the Multiple QSO Operation "Check IOTAs" and let me know how many mistakes I made. It's best if you have a QSL to verify against your log. My data comes from DX spots which many times can be incorrect or misleading. I'm already planning to work on the European 'S' callsigns next. That includes Sweden (SM), Poland (SP) and Greece (SV). I may also work on 'T' which is only Iceland (TF), Corsica (TK) and France (TM), of which many (most) should already be in the database. It's unlikely I'll get to the Russian (UA etc.) calls before the next release. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Dx4win] Messed Up The Awards File
I went into the custawds.txt and made some edits to the US Islands section of the file without making a copy first. Now DX4WIN v9 won't start. Is there somewhere I can download just the custawds.txt file?
