[Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY - info and updates

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Folks,

First I'd like to welcome everyone who has joined this reflector since
purchasing or upgrading DX4WIN at Dayton.

For a couple of years now, I have been maintaining an unofficial web site for
DX4WIN:

    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/

There's lots of information on that web page, and more to come whenever I get
time.

I maintain the country file (DX4WIN.CTY) and awards file (DX4WIN.AWD).  In
addition to DXCC countries, prefixes and callsigns, the country file also
contains the QSL manager database, IOTA database, and US Counties database.  I
try to the keep the QSL managers as current as possible while doing as little
work as possible.  There are many sources of QSL data on the Internet, DX4WIN
is but one.  My emphasis is on accuracy rather than quantity.  GOLIST
interfaces seamlessly with DX4WIN and is my QSL manager database of choice.

DX4WIN.CTY #29 was released on 11 May 2006 and was packaged with DX4WIN 7.02.

DX4WIN.CTY #30 will be released sometime the weekend of June 10/11, if not
earlier.  You can view the release notes here:

Please let me know if there are any corrections to be made to the database.

You may have heard that Montenegro voted to separate itself from what's left of
the former Yugoslavia.  This could result in a new DXCC entity.  Mid-July is
one possible date mentioned.  When that occurs, I will put the next version of
the country file with whatever changes I have at that time.
