[WT-support] Country File Error?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

It sounds like Win-Test is set up to use CTY.DAT instead of CTY_WT_MOD.DAT.

In the logging window, type COUNTRYFILES [Enter] to see which file you are
using for scoring purposes.  Then remove KH6YR from that one, or select
CTY_WT_MOD.DAT instead of CTY.DAT (always a good idea in my opinion).

It's also possible that you edited a copy of the a file in the Win-Test
directory instead of the one in the /countryfiles directory.

73,
