Hi Folks,

Some of you may be using older versions of DX4WIN (probably 6.x and 
earlier, maybe even early 7.0x) that have problems with KG4 and 
lighthouse callsigns.

As a reminder, only 2x2 KG4 calls count as Guantanamo Bay.

For Lighthouses, some stations sign /LH, /LHT or /LGT.  This can cause 
the callsign to be assigned the country Norway, which uses the LG and LH 
prefixes.

Please search your log for these callsigns using F8:

	KG4?
	KG4???
	/LH
	/LHT
	/LGT

For the KG4 searches, check your QSO preferences and make sure that 
"Callsign" is set to "Exact".

For the /LH searches, check your QSO preferences and make sure that 
"Callsign" is set to "substring".

If you find any KG4 2x1 or 2x3 calls that come up as KG4/Guantanamo Bay, 
send them to me, preferably with the QSO date and US state if known.

If you find any /LH, /LHT or /LGT calls where the base call is NOT 
LA/Norway, but DX4WIN thinks the callsign is LA/Norway, send them to me 
with the QSO date.

I'll add these to the next release of the country file.
