• New VERSION information, see the Installation Instructions
   
• 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.

• N7NG is in ITU zone 6
• R70B is Asiatic Russia, UA9

11 November 2008 (CTY-1813)

• For Win-Test, removed duplicate prefixes VO1, VO2, VY0, VY1 and VY2 from cty_wt_mod.dat (so they get the correct distance/bearing)

10 November 2008 (CTY-1812)

• 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.

• Added zone exceptions for China, BY and United States, K to cty_wt.dat (Win-Test)
• Fixed some GMT to local time offset typos for China, BY in cty_wt_mod.dat (Win-Test)
• Fixed cty_wt_mod.dat (Win-Test) to put UA0Z etc. in CQ Zone 19, not CQ Zone 23.

19 October 2008 (CTY-1810)

• Updated the list of USA CQ zone exception calls. This list is derived from the Super Check Partial database, cross-referenced to the FCC database to determine calls that are not in the default CQ Zone.  I.e. 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.
