Hi all,
I too have been following this thread with interest as I too show the prefix version as “Cocos Keeling” on my node MX0NCA-2
I have checked everything, and carried out the suggestions below but all to no avail.
I am running version 1.57 mojo branch latest git pull so all up to date. I tried changing the directory in the crontab wget to local_data but that didn’t work either.
So I just thought that I would check some other 1.57 mojo branch nodes and guess what.
Both WA9PIE-2 and GB7DJK give “Cocos Keeling” after Sh/prefix version.
What are we missing here?
Regards
Mike

-O CONCATENATES the file. Delete cty.dat and then wget with no options.
Also delete wpxloc.raw and do
wget http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw

Or do:
wget -Nq https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat
The -N queries the server to see if there is a new version. If there is, it
replaces the current file. Otherwise it doesn't download anything. The -q
is "quiet" so that it doesn't output anything in a batch file.
