[Dx4win] Re: Dade County Fl

[Larry Benko]

John,

Don't know what version you upgraded from but the Dade vs Miami-Dade is 
NOT the only county you may have problems with.  Older versions of 
DX4Win has mistakes in Yuba, CA (Yuma in DX4Win), no Broomfield, CO (new 
county), and I think Harrison, WV was misspelled.  If I am wrong about 
Harrison it definitely was one county in WV.  I did exactly what you are 
doing now.  I now can assure  you that the current abbreviations are 
error free.

73,
Larry, W0QE
