[Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY Release #85 - 4 October 2010

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

There seems to be confusion about this new country file.

The old PJ2 (Netherlands Antilles, now as PJ2/D) and PJ7 (St
Maarten/Saba/St Eustatius, now as PJ7/D) entities can be logged up
through the end of 9 October 2010.  On 10 October 2010, they become
"deleted" entities, just like ST0/Southern Sudan, 7J1/Okino-Torishima,
etc.  These still count towards your all-time DXCC totals, but no
longer count for DXCC challenge, nor for the Honor Roll.  Only CURRENT
entities count towards those two award programs.

When you log a PJ2, PJ4, PJ5, PJ6 or PJ7 staring 10 October 2010,
DX4WIN will associate these QSOs with the potential NEW entities.

Now let's say that PJ5 and PJ6 do become two separate entities; right
now they are both programmed to count for the "Saba & St. Eustatius"
entity.  There will be another release of the DX4WIN.CTY file to fix
this. With this new file, your PJ5 QSOs starting 10/10/10 will
automatically be credited to St. Eustatius and your PJ6 QSOs to Saba.
It all "just works" because country information for QSOs is NOT stored
in your logbook, it's determined when DX4WIN starts and it reads in
both your logbook as well as the country file.
