I found two egregious errors in the IOTA database.  Both EU-022 (Jan Mayen) and
SA-070 were in the wrong hemisphere.  EU-022 is the worse of the two errors,
since entering a QSO with any JX station will cause the beam heading and
distance to be incorrect.

The errors will be corrected in the next release of the country file.  If you
want to fix them yourself:

File -> Databases -> IOTA

Type EU022 in the Search box
Double-click on "8.50" in the Longitude column
Use the Delete key, then type in "-8.50" (without the quotes), then Enter

Type SA070 in the Search box
Double-click on "73.50" in the Longitude column
Use the Delete key, then type in "-73.50" (without the quotes), then Enter

Finally, File -> Save Changes and Exit
