IMPORTANT NOTE: There have been primary prefix changes (IG9, KL, KH7K). If
you are still using CT version 8 or earlier, and you use the CTYHDG program
to put beam headings into the country file, you will need to download the
file CTYHDG.PRE as well. It is included in the .ZIP file.
The files are available from a number of sources (listed in easiest/soonest
to hardest/latest order):
1. Send a message to CT-USER-REQUEST@eng.pko.dec.com to request the file(s)
you want, i.e.:
GET cty.dat
GET arrl.cty
GET ctyhdg.pre
GET history.cty
Remember that file names are in lower case. Multiple file requests on
separate lines are OK. The files are there NOW.
2. Send a message to CT-USER REQUEST@eng.pko.dec.com and get the whole .ZIP
file in UUencoded form. If you don't already have a program to
UUdecode, you will need to get UUD.COM as well:
GET cty.zip
GET uud.com (optional)
Remove the headers and trailers from the UUD.COM mail message so that
the resulting file begins with "ENC.COM.B&F=" and ends with "z!1", and
save it to UUD.COM. Then remove the headers and trailers from the
CTY.ZIP mail message so that the resulting file begins with "begin 664
cty.zip" and ends with "end". Save this to a file called CTY.UU. Then
on your PC type:
C:\> uud cty.uu
This should create the CTY.ZIP file.
3. FTP the file from:
maspar.maspar.com:/pub/k2mm/ct-files/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/k2mm/ct-files, type 'binary' then 'get cty.zip'.
John K2MM is pretty good about keeping the latest files in there. Look
for a file dated April 25, 1995 or later.
4. 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, type 'binary' then 'get cty.zip'.
This may take several days to catch up - look for a file dated
April 25, 1995 or later.
5. Download the file CTY-503.EXE from the CT BBS at 508-460-8877. I have
uploaded the file and told them it is there, but it still may take a
couple of days for K1EA to move it to the public area, and include it
with UPD-CT (this may not happen until after Dayton).
6. Download the file CTY-503.ZIP from the DX BBS at 502-898-8864.
I have have uploaded it, but they may need to move the file into a
public download area. Look for a file data of April 25, 1995 or later.
As always, please send me any corrections.
