Hi all, Some users complain that "U.S.A." is displayed as "U.S.A. of America". The reason for this is that the maintainers of the CTY.DAT file have suddenly changed the name from "United States" to "United States of America". But since all programs (WSJT-X, JTDX, wsjt-x_improved, jtdx_improved, I think also MSHV) have a built-in algorithm to abbreviate/replace "United States" by "U.S.A.", this now results in "U.S.A. of America".
This, by the way, is a good example of someone who makes a small change with good intentions but doesn't think about the side effects it can cause. The undesirable side effect only affects users who have downloaded an updated cty.dat file themselves, because the cty.dat file that comes with WSJT-X or wsjt-x_improved still uses "United States" as the name in its cty.dat file. However, the good news is: You can change it very easily yourself. Either delete any cty.dat file in your log directory, or edit this file and change "United States of America" to "United States". I will inform the maintainers of the cty.dat file about this annoying side effect and hope that they understand that it is better to use the name "United States" again. 73 de Uwe, DG2YCB
