[Dx4win] Incorrect Band

[Dave]

When you install the ARRL's TrustedQSL software on your PC, it places a file
named config.XML in the folder

C:\\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\TrustedQSL

Where <username> is what you used to logon to Windows.

config.XML defines all of the modes, bands, DXCC entities, etc. expected by
LotW.

Here's the excerpt of config.XML that define the bands:

<bands>
  <band high="24250" low="24000" spectrum="UHF">1.25CM</band> 
  <band high="225" low="220" spectrum="VHF">1.25M</band> 
  <band high="29700" low="28000" spectrum="HF">10M</band> 
  <band high="24990" low="24890" spectrum="HF">12M</band> 
  <band high="2450" low="2300" spectrum="UHF">13CM</band> 
  <band high="21450" low="21000" spectrum="HF">15M</band> 
  <band high="2000" low="1800" spectrum="HF">160M</band> 
  <band high="18168" low="18068" spectrum="HF">17M</band> 
  <band high="250000" low="241000" spectrum="UHF">1MM</band> 
  <band high="120020" low="119980" spectrum="UHF">2.5MM</band> 
  <band high="14350" low="14000" spectrum="HF">20M</band> 
  <band high="137" low="136" spectrum="HF">2190M</band> 
  <band high="1300" low="1240" spectrum="UHF">23CM</band> 
  <band high="148" low="144" spectrum="VHF">2M</band> 
  <band high="149000" low="142000" spectrum="UHF">2MM</band> 
  <band high="10150" low="10100" spectrum="HF">30M</band> 
  <band high="928" low="902" spectrum="UHF">33CM</band> 
  <band high="10500" low="10000" spectrum="UHF">3CM</band> 
  <band high="7300" low="7000" spectrum="HF">40M</band> 
  <band high="71" low="70" spectrum="VHF">4M</band> 
  <band high="81000" low="75500" spectrum="UHF">4MM</band> 
  <band high="5405" low="5250" spectrum="HF">60M</band> 
  <band high="5925" low="5650" spectrum="UHF">6CM</band> 
  <band high="54" low="50" spectrum="VHF">6M</band> 
  <band high="47200" low="47000" spectrum="UHF">6MM</band> 
  <band high="450" low="420" spectrum="UHF">70CM</band> 
  <band high="4000" low="3500" spectrum="HF">80M</band> 
  <band high="3500" low="3300" spectrum="UHF">9CM</band> 
  <band high="0" low="300000" spectrum="UHF">SUBMM</band> 
</bands>

So the answer to your question is "33CM".

The ARRL's Frequency Allocation Chart also labels this band as 33CM, which
is why I proposed 33CM in the ADIF 2 specification.

The ADIF2 spec (at www.adif.org) says 33cm, the ADIF1 spec says 35cm.  I
guess what really matters is what ARRL LoTW expects.  Maybe Dave AA6YQ can
clarify this for us.
