Other Information
I try to update the files regularly, usually starting a month before each major
contest (CQWW, ARRL DX, WPX, IARU, WAE). The updated files are announced on the
CT, N1MM, NA, TR, WL and CQ-Contest reflectors. The only supported files are
available from this web page:
http://www.country-files.com

E-mail to

If you are unable to obtain the country files via the Internet, send a formatted diskette, diskette mailer and $1.00
for postage to the above address and I will mail the files to you.
