HK0/Malpelo is in CQ zone 9, not 7.> * Removed trailing 'AF' from IG9, IH9.> * 
Changed IG9, IH9 to be in ITU zone 37.> * Added 'AS' continent override to 
JD/o.> * VP8GAV is in CQ zone 13, not 30.> * Added more callsigns to KH0, KH8

 , KG4HG and KG4MK to KG4 prefix list.> * Added X5 to T9 prefix list, though

authorities.> * Removed trailing 'EU' from TA0, TA1, etc.> * Changed RN, UN 
prefixes for Karelo-Finish Rep. back to RN1, UN1> and added RN5WW.> * Added 
KX6BU to V7 prefix list.> * Added CE3MMV/9 to VP8/shetlands prefix list.> * 
Corrected spelling of Suriname and Bosnia-Herzegovina.> * I now use the same 
source to generate all three country files.> Thus you might notice some 
cosmetic changes in ARRL.CTY and IARU.CTY.> > 73 - Jim AD1C> > > >
