Hi,
There is obviously a second file used in the country identification process:
wpxloc.raw. I don't know exactly why we need 2 files with partially identical
information, maybe Dirk could explain that.
As the wpxloc.raw file seems to be no more maintained, I modified the latest
release to add FJ as a new country. The line becomes:
FJ St-Barthelemy-FJ 351 11 8 4.00 18 0 0 N 63 0 0 W @
instead of:
FJ St-Martin-FS 54 11 8 4.00 18 0 0 N 63 0 0 W
Please note:
- I removed here some spaces in the middle so that the line doesn't get split
- I didn't change the coordinates which are very similar to FS.
I also made other updates to this file, the most important ones are detailed
at the beginning of the new file.
In case somebody would be interested, I put a copy here:
http://www.hb9bza.net/temp/wpxloc.zip
Probably this work is not perfect, but it seems to work OK on my node, after
doing a create_prefix.pl and a load/prefixes:
FJ DXCC: 351 ITU: 11 CQ: 8 LL: 18 0 N 63 0 W (FJ, St-Barthelemy-FJ)
