If you reread what I typed you will see I did in fact do an update on Friday mid-day, just before the contest. That is ALWAYS my practice just before a contest.
No need for anymore input, issue corrected.

Hi Joel,
Since these files are updated about one a week, it is always a good idea to do an update before the contest. They don't update as much out of contest season unless a new one comes along with unique callsign.

Thanks. I updated N1MM sometime Friday afternoon but apparently K8H wasn't in that update. I just updated the latest CTY file and, like Ragu Spaghetti sauce, ITS IN THERE!!
Thanks again, and thanks Bill FUV.

Hi Joel,
Well that call may or may not be updated yet. I noticed they updated the CTY files right before the contest. Most of the time if you haven't used N1MM it will ask you if you want to update it. I think you can update all files underneath the file tab.
These databases are constantly being upgrade, but it is on a volunteer basis. However they do a pretty good job at keep up.
I think Randy K5ZD is the main guy doing the CTY database?

Subject: [ADXA] K8H & N1MM
Lanny's post of K8H reminded me that this past weekend during the contest I worked K8H, but of course N1MM didn't recognize it as American Samoa and would only accept USA with zero points and zero mult. I changed the zone to 32 and that really pissed it off!
I recall from the CQWW phone contest a few weeks ago that this issue was brought up here and someone offered an N1MM fix, however I don't recall what it was.
Anyone recall?
