[Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY Release 7 available

Fri May 7 05:42:26 EDT 2004

Release 7 of the DX4WIN country database is now available from:

         http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/

The changes are described below.  This is a clean-up release to fix a 
couple of mapping problems in Release 6.  This is the version that I expect 
Paul to include when he releases DX4W603. If you find any problems, please 
let me know ASAP.

IMPORTANT:  This release uses new primary country prefixes which match the 
ARRL DXCC Credit Listing.  If you are filtering DX spots by prefix, you may 
need to make changes to your preferences (i.e. K becomes W).  There is a 
DX4WIN.OLD in the ZIP archive which is the same as DX4WIN but which uses 
the "traditional" (DX4W602 and before) primary country prefixes.
