Due to the large number of special (temporary) callsigns from the U.K., the files for WF1B (wf1b.dat) and NA (country.dat) contain too many entries, and those programs may crash or work improperly if this version of those files is used.

IMPORTANT: Due to the number of 2R, GR and MR-prefixed callsigns added to this release, the COUNTRY.DAT (NA) and WF1B.DAT files contain too many callsigns/prefixes, and those two programs will behave unpredictably, or crash, if you try to use this release of the country files.

5 November 2010 (CTY-2010) [ CT8 | N3FJP | Win-Test | WriteLog ]
VER20101105, Version entity is Dodecanese, SV5

Overall changes:

  • In SA_cty.dat (WriteLog) and both CTY_WT.dat and CTY_WT_MOD.dat (Win-Test), prefixes for Argentina with the number '0' (i.e. LT0F) were missing
  • Restored Russian prefixes beginning with RI, RP and RR

25 October 2010 (CTY-2009) [ CT8 | N3FJP | Win-Test | WriteLog ]
VER20101025, Version entity is British Virgin Islands, VP2V

Overall changes:

  • There was a bug that caused some files to have one version entity, and other files to have a different one. Now they are all the same.
  • Lengthened the "active callsign" window from 365 days to 400 days. This fixes some issues when calls are only used once per year.

24 October 2010 (CTY-2008) [ CT8 | N3FJP | Win-Test | WriteLog ]
VER20101024, Version entity is Dodecanese, SV5

Overall changes:

  • The size of CTY.DAT was reduced so that both CT9/10 and TR LOG can use it. This means that CTY.DAT is more like it was before October 2010, i.e. does not contain a full set of prefix/zone mappings for BY (China), K (United States), UA9 (Asiatic Russia), VE (Canada) and VK (Australia). If you are in need of such a file, use CTY_WT.DAT, which is the country file for Win-Test.
     
  • The following prefixes with zone overrides have been removed, because they have not been assigned:
     
    • China: 3H-3U, BB, BC, BE, BS (except BS7H) and XS
    • European Russia, Asiatic Russia and Kaliningrad: RB, RE, RH, RI, RP, RR and RS
    • Japan: JB and JC (no zone override)
       
  • 421 USA callsigns have zone exceptions, based on the Super Check Partial database released 24 October 2009.
     
  • The following entities have more exact latitude/longitude on a per-prefix basis: CM (Cuba), ES (Estonia), EZ (Turkmenistan), HP (Panama), PZ (Suriname), TI (Costa Rica) and UK (Uzbekistan). This benefits both WriteLog and Win-Test (cty_wt_mod.dat only).
     
  • PJ5/PJ6 is now known as St. Eustatius and Saba.

Added/changed Callsigns/prefixes:

  • 9W6MAN/2 is West Malaysia, 9M2
  • ZL5 and ZM5 are both in ITU Zone 71, not ITU zone 70
  • I0QHM/IA0PS is in ITU Zone 71, not ITU zone 70

15 October 2010 (CTY-2007) [ CT8 | N3FJP | Win-Test | WriteLog ]
VER20101015, Version entity is Kuwait, 9K

  • Fixed problem in COUNTRY.DAT for NA in that TR/Gabon had a latitude of -0, which caused NA to crash.
  • Fixed several cases where the longitude for CE9/Antarctica was -0.00, it's now 0.00
  • CQWW.CTY and IARU.CTY for CT8 both now have many more prefixes/zones for BY, UA and UA9, and some fixes for VE. Note that CT8 has some internal logic for determining CQ and ITU zones for BY, K, VE and VK.
  • CTYHDG.EXE was corrupt, working version restored
  • CTY.DAT now has an extensive list of prefixes for BY, K, UA, UA9, VE and VK
  • N3FJP (arrlpre2.txt and cqwwpre2.txt) was missing B0 and B9 prefixes
  • N3FJP (arrlpre2.txt and cqwwpre2.txt) was missing some "valid prefix" flags
  • N3FJP (ADIFCnt.txt) now has correct ADIF country codes for new PJ entities
  • WF1B.dat (for WF1B) was missing all callsign overrides (like 4U1WB), now fixed
  • USA callsign exceptions from New Mexico were incorrectly identified as the 6th call area
     
  • More calls for Shetland and Fair Isle, GM/s
  • GB1HTW is Wales, GW
  • GB4RC is Wales, GW
  • HF0POL is South Shetland, VP8/h

4 October 2010 (CTY-2006) [ CT8 | N3FJP | Win-Test | WriteLog ]
VER20101004, Version entity is Guadeloupe, FG

  • Removed entities PJ2, Netherlands Antilles and PJ7, Sint Maarten
  • Added four new entities resulting from the breakup of the Netherlands Antilles starting 10 October 2010. This is tentative and simply a "best guess" based on the available information. When the ARRL announces the actual entities, the country files will be updated ASAP.
     
    • PJ2 - Curacao
    • PJ4 - Bonaire
    • PJ6/PJ5 - Saba and St. Eustatius
    • PJ7 - Sint Maarten
     
  • Revised the list of USA callsign exceptions, based on the Super Check Partial (SCP) release of 1 August 2010 and the latest FCC database. USA callsigns that require only an ITU zone override are now included, but only for states that lie entirely within the same ITU zone, i.e. Indiana but not Illinois. This process is entirely automated now, so the list of calls will be updated when there is a country file released after a SCP release.

This release of the country files is based on a complete tool rewrite and new flow, as well as a new set of input data. I finally decided to merge my two databases into one. I tried to maintain the original content in each country file as much as possible, however, there are bound to be some differences, mistakes or oversights. I have not tested all these files on all the different platforms. If something is wrong or missing, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

Some of the highlights:

  • Many ITU zone overrides were added or corrected.
  • Many old callsigns have been "retired". Thus you'll notice shorter lists for Martinique, FM; UK callsigns beginning with GB and various LU callsign overrides.  Calls are "retired" about a year after they last appear on the bands. If an entity hasn't been active for more than a year, then the last callsign used from that entity will be in the country file.  Thus, these files are not useful as a historical database (and they never have been).
  • N3FJP is now a supported format.
  • Win-Test files are generated "natively" rather than doing a text substitution to the original CTY.DAT file. This results in a cleaner design, as well as fixing a handful of bugs in the previous Win-Test files.
  • Win-Test (cty_wt_mod.dat) now has geographic coordinates for some additional countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America.
  • There are now additional files that WriteLog can use to enhance beam headings for Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America.
  • CT8, N3FJP, Win-Test and WriteLog have separate .ZIP files that contain only the files needed for those programs. Of course, CTY-####.zip still contains all the files.

  • The ZIP archive includes two new files: old/cty.dat and old/wl_cty.dat
    These files don't have '=' front of full callsigns, to maintain compatibility with older software like CT9.

  • There is a new style of version string in the file. If you try to log the callsign VERSION, the CTY version number (i.e. CTY-1812) will appear in your logging software as the country name. (Technical details: a special entity whose primary prefix is "0VER" [zero-VER] was created for this purpose.)
     
  • For Win-Test users of cty_wt.dat and cty_wt_mod.dat, added CQ zone exceptions for the following Canadian prefixes: CF, CG, CJ, CK, VA, VB, VC, VG and VX. For ct_wt_mod.dat (only), added coordinates for VE9, VO1 and VO2.

19 October 2008 (CTY-1810)

K4 in Alabama, W8 in West Virginia, KH6 in Oregon. These exceptions are not included in COUNTRY.DAT (NA) or WF1B.DAT (WF1B RTTY) due to limitations on the number of prefixes and calls allowed in those country files.

2 June 2008 (CTY-1805)

IMPORTANT: This release represents a change in the file format. Starting with this release, a '=' character will prefix full callsigns in CTY.DAT, CTY_WT.DAT, CTY_WT_MOD.DAT and WL_CTY.DAT. This is necessary to differentiate a full callsign like K7A in Alaska from the prefix K7A (i.e. K7ABC should still be United States, not Alaska).
This change is compatible with CT (both 9.92 and 10.03), Win-Test (since January 2008) and WriteLog (10.29), as well as CC Cluster (Version 1.146) and DX Spider (V1.55, build 0.12). N1MM (V8.0.0) treats the calls the same as prefixes (i.e. as if the '=' was not used). If you are using software that does NOT support this convention, exception callsigns will most likely be ignored for country determination purposes (please ask your software developer to support it). COUNTRY.DAT (NA), ARRL.CTY, CQWW.CTY and IARU.CTY (CT 8 and earlier) will NOT change.
