[Dx4win] Too many DXCC entities?

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

These are the correct entity totals in DX4WIN:

Current:            338
  (Reports -> DXCC -> Summary)

Current + Deleted:  396
  (Reports -> DXCC -> Summary (include deleted))

Some people have reported an extra country in the count.  I helped one guy in
Sweden fix his problem.

First, close your logbook.  You might want to copy your <call>.DXL and
DX4WIN.CTY files from the SAVE directory to somewhere SAFE (floppy, USB drive,
etc.).  DON'T DO THIS WHILE DX4WIN IS RUNNING!  Shut down the program first,
copy the files, then restart the program.

Now open the Countries database:

  Files -> Databases -> Countries

The window that opens should show 1A0, Sov. Military Order of Malta

If it is *blank*, then you should delete it:

  Country -> Delete
  Country -> Update

Now check the LAST country:

  Country -> Last (or CTRL-L)

If the prefix is ZZZZ, then you should delete it:

  Country -> Delete
  Country -> Update

Now save your changes:

  File -> Save Changes and Exit

If you want to be sure that the changes were saved, open the country database
again, and check the first and last entries as described above.  If you do not
need to make any further changes, then File -> Cancel Changes and Exit.

Now exit DX4WIN *completely* (shutdown the program).

Finally, re-start DX4WIN, open your log and check the DXCC summary reports to
make sure the country totals are correct.  Also check your log to make sure
that QSOs with the USA did not get modified (lost state/county data).

If this does NOT fix the problem, and the count is still wrong, let me know and
I'll see if I can help.

If anything went wrong, restore your .DXL and .CTY files and try again.
