[DXBase] IOTA Questions

[Peter Dougherty]

Hi Folks,

I just worked a station whose IOTA number is not in DX Base. I did some 
research on where he was and added it manually, but I'm wondering if it's 
possible to find the latest database with the most current IOTA reference 
numbers (and Lat/Long pairs) and import them into DX Base.

What say ye?

Also wondering why it is that when you enter the call of a station located 
on an island that the appropriate IOTA field is not automatically 
populated. Seems to me that it should be a very simple thing to implement 
for island-entities like Australia, NZ, the British Isles, etc, where the 
entire DXCC entity is one single IOTA reference.

Of course, for entities where there's any ambiguity at all, it could easily 
be left blank--but considering the number of entities that are their own 
IOTA, I don't see why that functionality is missing.
