[Dx4win] Country file updates

[Bud Semon]

Tom,

I think you should work with Jim to get your callsign mappings into his
database.  Every one of the mappings has an applicable date range - for
example, VE1CR may have been CY9 for some time period, but it is not CY9
today.  I think Jim will appreciate any updates you can give him, because
they will affect many other folks.
