AW: [WT-support] WAG and DOK's again.

[Ulf, DL5AXX]

Hi Larry and John,

Yes there are Germans, that are not in the DARC. They don't have a DOK and
has to give a serial number too...

DTB-problem:
How I have to rename the HF.DTB for an ARRL DX contest to get the exchange
information? (ARRL.DTB and ARRLDX.DTB doesn't work)

In fact, the current WT dvpt version is now fixed to accept any combination
with at least *one* letter (wherever it is located), and is recorded "as
is". In the WAG, the first letter found in the DOK *is* the mult (district),
not the DOK itself ! Which is a bit tricky for the rest of the program, I
must confess ! Thus, I'm relying on finding at least one letter in the DOK.
Am I wrong ?

Quote from the rules found on the DARC site :

> The multiplier for Non-German stations is determined by the number of
German districts worked on each band regardless of mode. The German district
is indicated by the first letter of the DOK. From special DOKs (two or more
letter/figure or figure/letter combinations) only the first letter counts.

Thus, any DOK with NO letter is rejected.

> Look for Club Call VK6ANC ZONE 29 in CQWW Multi Single or Multi 2.

Good luck !

As usual, some ops of the Win-Test team will operate from FY5KE.
