Hello, 

Tools > Check Log > Search for possible bad exchanges

The list it gives is full of HQs like: 

   30 2008-07-12 12:11  20 GB7HQ          RSGB  : Differ from database: 27
   30 2008-07-12 12:11  20 GB7HQ          RSGB  : CTY.DAT expect ITU Zone: 27
   32 2008-07-12 12:13  20 EI0HQ          IRTS  : Differ from database: 27
   32 2008-07-12 12:13  20 EI0HQ          IRTS  : CTY.DAT expect ITU Zone: 27
   33 2008-07-12 12:13  20 LX0HQ          RL    : Differ from database: 27
   33 2008-07-12 12:13  20 LX0HQ          RL    : CTY.DAT expect ITU Zone: 27

However it doesn't detect typos in HQ abbreviations like FMRE vs FMAE for the same XE HQ. 

USA and Russia zones are ignored as well: 

2063 2008-07-13 04:49  20 UA9YTN         31    : Differ from database: 30
 2063 2008-07-13 04:49  20 UA9YTN         31    : CTY.DAT expect ITU Zone: 30
 2070 2008-07-13 04:56  40 W5KFT          07    : Differ from database: 08
 2070 2008-07-13 04:56  40 W5KFT          07    : CTY.DAT expect ITU Zone: 08


Under Options > Data Files > Country Files I selected CTY_WT_MOD by F5IN (updated). It seems that this functions uses the CTY.DAT regardless what is selected under the Options menu.  IMO this function should use the same DAT file for checking the log as the one used for logging the contest.
