FYI, you can use the CTY_WT_MOD.DAT country file maintained by F5IN 
which uses the US prefix callsigns zone distribution (3, 4 or 5). Even 
if it is not always accurate (to say the least), it sometimes helps.

TBH, we choosed to be consistant on this for all zones (and all contests 
managed by WT) and set the cursor on the above position.

Also, FYI, if you enter a one-digit zone, WT will autocomplete it with a 
leading zero. This also works for other contests when a serial number is 
required by adding one or two leading zeroes as required.

Tnx for the kind words.
