Here's a longer explanation:

I have software that runs automatically once a week to download the latest
callsign changes from the FCC database.  It specifically looks for
callsigns like this:  KH6 call in lower-48 states, non-KL7 call in Alaska,
etc.  This only really works well when the callsign is used by one ham.
The two things that the software doesn't do well are a) recognize canceled
callsigns, and b) recognize re-issued callsigns.  KH6KW failed on both
fronts.

Every now and then (once every month or two), I will look for re-issued
callsigns.  It's a semi-automated process.  The software looks for
callsigns that were canceled (like KH6KW) to see if they have been
re-issued after the cancelation date.  But it only looks for re-issued
callsigns if the callsign had previously expired or been canceled.  KH6KW
was not identified as a canceled (or expired) callsign in my master
database, so the process to identify re-issued callsigns never checked
KH6KW.

Someday when I have lots of free time, I am going to rewrite my FCC
program.  I don't have that time now.  The program is a little fragile, so
I'm reluctant to try to make small changes to it.  It works 99% of the
time, but KH6KW fell into the other 1%.  Plus, as I have discovered over
the years, the weekly data that the FCC provides has some idiosyncracies
that are hard to explain.

It looks like this callsign was re-issued.  It will be fixed in the
next release of the country file.

[Dx4win] Anyone Using DARC Outgoing Buro

2022-09-13 Thread Dan Violette 
Please send me a direct message to me if you are using the DARC outgoing
buro service.  I have a simple question since I am looking to replace the
defunct GlobalQSL.  I will go back 3 years since I am not sure what got
sent.  I am not a big buro QSLer anymore (do not need much) so only send 10
or so a year.  I have asked DARC my question in their request form.  Has
been over a week and no response yet.

Yes, what are the callsigns???  The country file tends to be pretty
caught-up on this stuff.  Are you using the latest one?

Not the actual prefix of the call, but the prefix field.

Just logged some Oceanic Stations and when I tried to put in Hawaii as a

Did it get removed as a State?  Last I heard it was the 50th State.
