K8H


Alek Petkovic
 

I just worked k8H on 12m CW and ACL is mapping it to USA instead of American Samoa.

Something for the next countries update.

Worked him before and in the contest, and I corrected the USA to American Samoa before I logged it.  

Just go to the country box and type American Samoa over the USA. In fact, I didn't have to type the entire thing.  I just typed "Am" and the system did the rest.

Yes. I picked it right away and did the same thing in my own log.😁

Thanks, Alek.

Alek, the cty.dat file used by ACL is maintained by AD1C, separately from the ACLog software. The latest cty.dat file does not appear to show K8H as American Samoa yet. It will eventually but for now, you have to manually update it in ACLog as mentioned by others. If you wish to suggest a cty.dat file update, please contact AD1C rather than posting here. Scott and team do not maintain the country file.

73 and keep DXing!

K8H has been used as a US call several times. If you do a search on it here:
http://www.1x1callsigns.org/index.php/search

I suspect the next time it is used it will be a U.S. call again. I'm not sure the software should assume it is American Samoa. Now KH8 would be another story.

Just my opinion, 73,

Thanks Dennis. Yes, I was aware of that.

We had an update just before the contest. I guess AD1C will include it in future update.

He does such an excellent job. We're lucky that someone is prepared to keep abreast of these things. His country files are used in many places.
