Hi all There have been many error reports generated by Club Log recently concerning ST0R and the PJs. Club Log was reporting that the user had claimed the old entity. I had been putting this down to users using an out of date country file, but it turns out this was not the case. In spite of Club Log flagging up errors, a couple of DX4Win users claimed that DX4Win was showing the new, correct DXCC in their log. Between us, Mike CT11IUA, Jim AD1C, and myself, have identified the problem, which is caused by DX4Win users not properly following the instructions for upgrading to the latest country file. When updating the DX4WIN country file, there is a second file to update, which contains the country-to-ADIF mappings, ADIF.pmp. If the country file is installed, but not ADIF.pmp, DX4Win users will see the correct DXCC in their log, but DX4Win will create an ADIF file with the old mappings, which, in turn, causes Club Log to flag errors. So, in summary, if: a) You are a DX4Win user b) You get the correct DXCC showing in your log (especially for ST0R and the PJs) c) Club Log tells you have claimed the old DXCC then you probably haven't installed ADIF.pmp. Please go to www.country-files-com/dx4win and read and follow the installation instructions again! There is a tool, The DX4WIN Data Updater, that makes all the necessary downloads. Using this tool, Mike CT1IUA has fixed his error report. Thanks! -- 73 Alan 5B4AHJ-5B50J-P3J ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
