Just a few more notes:

This release is still a "work in progress".  I wanted to get it to Paul 
KK4HD ASAP.  I plan a major QSL manager update in the next day or two.

The IOTA database is current to 1 May 2004 with all new and provisional 
IOTA reference numbers issued.

In addition to the XF4IH problem already noted, VP8/LZ2UU (South Shetlands) 
is also missing.  I have notes to fix a couple more calls.

Some reported that FO/AC4LN in the Release 5 database did not map to 
Austral Islands, FO/A like it should have.  Some other callsigns had 
similar problems.  This seems to have been a temporary glitch, as it seems 
to work OK in this release.

Please let me know of any other corrections ASAP. Time is running out 
before DX4W603 is released.
