Hi Art,

You want this program:

    http://software.ad1c.us/ADIF_County/

This will fill in the ADIF "CNTY" fields from the contest exchange.
If two QSOs are close in time, but have different counties, DX4WIN
will *not* think they are dupes.  Your ADIF file probably doesn't have
CNTY fields in it, instead it probably has some sort of
contest-software-specific field name for the received county
abbreviation.

Or try this program if the particular state QSO party is supported:

    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/

The latter is actually a better option.  If the QSO party is NOT
supported, send me the ADIF file and I'll add it.

p.s. 8.04 is *really* the version you want to be using!  :-)
