Hi Folks,
I've started work on DX4WIN.CTY #89 which I expect to release in early
January 2011. You can read the release notes here:

After reading this, you might be saying to yourself, "Wow, that's a
lot of changes!" Well, it is (almost 200 if you really want to know).
After doing some earlier work checking the last date a callsign was
used, I added checks for the starting date (by comparing to old DX
Cluster spot data). What I found is that many calls in the database
had no start date (and probably should have), or the callsign was used
BEFORE the date in the DX4WIN database. I prefer to keep the start
dates accurate, since I don't want to disturb any QSOs with the same
call that may have occurred BEFORE the start date (and for which I
have no information). All changes were inspected visually in addition
to the automated (program) checks.
Please inform me of any changes before the new year. I probably won't
work on this again until then.
Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
