The POTA administrators are still changing reference numbers.  They
are scheduled to be done on March 25.  I will try to release an
updated database sometime shortly thereafter.

Due to the large number of changes, I might try to stage this into two
pieces, to release the changes more quickly:

1.  Maintain existing park reference numbers for now.  Add new parks
using the "old" reference number system.  This has to be done for
DX4WIN 8.x (and earlier) users anyway.

2.  Maybe days or a week later, release the new park reference numbers
for DX4WIN 9.x users.  Anyone who is tracking this custom award will
need to run the Multiple QSO operation, "Check Custom Awards" to
update all the
reference numbers in your logbook to the new reference numbers.

I apologize for this taking so long.  I would rather wait until the
POTA administrators have finished updating all the park numbers.
