Hi

I import the LOTW download (with all details checked) into my 8.05 log and I 
have just checked my log by searching using F8 with
the State/Oblast abbreviation in the box.
I do not get one single non-USA call-sign appearing!

I checked against.....
AL  GA  IN  KS  MA  MD  MO  NV  OR  and  TN.

I wonder why ?
