During last weekend's CQWW SSB, I realized that WT's CQ zone
guessing on US stations is wrong if the US station is outside
the 1,2,3,4-call area.
A test brings up the following:
Call WT's Guess Correct
W1AAA => 05 ok
W2AAA => 05 ok
W3AAA => 05 ok
W4AAA => 05 ok
W5AAA => 05 WRONG
W6AAA => 05 WRONG
W7AAA => 05 WRONG
W8AAA => 05 WRONG
W9AAA => 05 WRONG
W0AAA => 05 WRONG
Being a 10+ years CT user, I am used to CT's guessing and when
I hear W8AAA say "5904" I just press the enter key. Knowing that
some of the US stations are actually located in the "wrong" zone,
still around 90% fit the pattern shown above.
I would like to ask the WT developers to implement the correct
guessing. What do you think?
