Hi all,
I may yet find an answer in either the help file or the user guide. But
thought it fine to ask here in the mean time. I've been entering old QSOs
from as far back as 30 years ago (egads!!), and I've come up with a couple
of conflicts I'm not sure how to resolve:
I've a few cards for QSOs made with YU stations when they counted for
Yugoslovia. But dx4w insists on showing it as Serbia and Montenegro...
I've also got a card for a Q with PY1RO/PY0, Fernando de Noronha. But the
software insists it counts as Brasil.
In neither of these cases is the software allowing me to enter the correct
country names via the QSO window. So I decided to unearth my copy of the
DXCC list that was enclosed with my DXCC from the ARRL back in early 1981.
Sure enough, YU2OB (and others of the era) does indeed show credited as
Yugoslovia, and PY1RO/PY0 as F de N.
So far, these have been the only incidences I've seen of the country name
not updating (er... reverting) to what it should be after I've put in the
QSO date.
I'm using 7.02.15 here and am just about as sure as I can be that I've got
the most current country list installed.
Any and all thoughts and comments are appreiciated.
