People's memories are short, and everyone seems to be making the same
mistakes, so here are some tips (look for >>>):
Here are the changes since 9 October:
13 Oct 1994: * Moved IG9, IH9 prefixes from Sicily, IT to Italy, I
(CTY-406) (IT9BLB).
* Updated prefixes for Canada, VE (VE2ZP).
The files are available from a number of sources:
1. Send a message to CT-USER-REQUEST@eng.pko.dec.com to request the file
you want, i.e.:
>>> GET cqww.cty (file names must be lower case)
>>>
>>> Files are available NOW! You can include multiple files in a single
>>> request, for example:
>>>
>>> GET history.cty
>>> GET cty.dat
2. FTP the file from:
gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/misc/hamradio/cty.zip
>>> This is an ANONYMOUS FTP server. When you get the username
>>> prompt from gatekeeper, log in as anonymous, and use your EMAIL
>>> address (i.e. reisert@eng.pko.dec.com) as the password. Then
>>> 'cd' to /pub/misc/hamradio and 'get cty.zip'.
This may take a day or two to catch up - look for a file dated
October 13, 1994 or later.
>>> I just checked (1720 GMT Friday October 14) and the October 13 files
>>> are not there yet - check again Monday.
3. Download the file from the CT BBS at 508-460-8877. Ken has promised
to include the latest files as part of UPD-CT. You may have to wait
until the weekend, though, before they are available.
>>> UPD-CT has been fixed, you will now get CTY-406.EXE as part of your
>>> CT update. If you just want the country files, download CTY-406.EXE.
>>> I have logged into the CT BBS and verified this for Version 9.
>>> I was not able to check UPD-CT for Version 8, however.
4. Download the file CTY-406.ZIP from the W6GO BBS at 916-992-0923.
Note that if you a registered user of Version 9, you will get a program
update in the mail which will include the updated country files.
>>> CTY-406 didn't make it onto Ken's disks - he shipped with the October 9
>>> country files (CTY-405). Differences between latest release and the one
>>> he shipped with are at the top of this message.
