DXCC Notes:

fldigi determines dxcc data such as CQzone, ITUzone etc, from the data 
base file cty.dat <http://www.country-files.com/cty-dat-format/>. 
cty.dat or big_cty.dat can be downloaded from 
http://www.country-files.com/.  If you download the big_cty.dat zip file 
you can then extract either the cty.dat or the larger big_cty.dat file.  
In either case fldigi expects that file to be named /cty.dat/.  See 
fldigi help on the location of cty.dat 
<http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/dxcc_list_page.html>in the computers 
file structure.

The file is normally placed in the fldigi.files (~/.fldigi) folder, but 
can be placed anywhere in the file structure.  Specify the location on 
this fldigi configuration panel:

Use the Browse, Default, and Reload buttons accordingly.

fldigi will use an internal cty.dat database if no cty.dat file is found 
on the system.

DO NOT expect that every US call will show up with the correct CQ or ITU 
zone.  The default for the US is zone CQ zone 5, ITU zone 8.  The 
cty.dat file lists specific calls with zone amendments.  If the call is 
not in the list, the default is used.  For example, my call, W1HKJ, is 
not in the list.  I am located in Alabama, CQ zone 4.  A CQzone search 
in the cty.dat file will result in my CQzone being listed as 5 (default 
for W1).  If I add this entry to the end of the "United States" alias 
entries "W1HKJ(4)[8]" and "Reload" the data then a search will populate 
the CQzone log control with "4".  BINGO.
