> 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
