One other feature I forgot to mention that is not in the release notes.
For users of DX4WIN 9.05 and later, the country file now contains an
extensive database of geographic coordinates by prefix. For example,
logging calls like UA4FBG and UA3RA will give more precise distance,
bearing, sunrise and sunset times. This is especially useful for
beaming countries that span a large geographic area, such as Russia,
Canada, United States, Argentina, etc. This is an easier way to get
the information, rather than having to go to the DX cluster and type
"SH/SUN UA4FBG" or "SH/H UA3RA". Grid squares, especially the 6-digit
ones, as well as IOTA will still override the prefix data, as they are
typically even more accurate.
