[Dx4win] DX4WIN Country File Update status

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Folks,

As I wrote on July 11, "I'm in the midst of a huge country file
update, trying to reconcile differences with the database in Club
Log."

I'm still working on this - it's been a HUGE project.  Even though the
work to identify differences is automated, resolving those differences
takes time.  It takes an average of 2-5 minutes for each one,
including research, discussion with G3PMR, then actually making
changes (if needed).  This doesn't include time spent looking into new
information we discover along the way.  So given I've found at least
300 such differences so far, that adds up to between 10-25 hours of
continuous work, if I had that kind of time.  And I'm only up to the
"J" callsigns at this point, so K-Z still lie ahead.

If there's a rush to push out a new country file due to the recent
IOTA changes, I can do that.  However, I'd rather try to finish this
project first, hopefully by the end of the month, if not a little
sooner.
