Unfortunately, CTY.DAT doesn't include correct infos on UA9 callsigns, 
because it is hardcoded in CT ! To be honest, I never understood this 
fact. Anyway, CTY_WT.DAT includes more accurate UA9 zones (based on 
oblasts), and also, more generally, more accurate Russian zones. 
Finally, CTY_WT_MOD.DAT (maintained by F5IN) includes more accurate 
geographical data for several countries (coordinates and timzones per 
prefixes). These data are not yet used by WT, but we plan to do it in a 
future v3. And this latter file also uses the now deprecated US 
callareas to guess the correct zones, even if it sometimes fails. Choose 
your poison !

I fully understand ;-)

Being WT-network administrator for a distributed HQ station across a 
country is a *real* full-time job ;-)
