You certainly used the CTY.DAT or CTY_WT.DAT country files which
consider all US stations from zone 5 (except some of them which are
mentionned in the file). To get a (sometimes wrong) default zone
depending on the digit in the US callsign, you have to use the
CTY_WT_MOD.DAT (maintained by Mike F5IN).
