[WT-support] IARU contest

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

John,

It's happening because Win-Test by default uses the CTY.DAT file, instead
of the more complete CTY_WT_MOD.DAT file.

   1. Type CTYFILES [Enter] in the logging window
   2. Select CTY_WT_MOD.DAT, and *Download* to get the latest.
   3. After the download is complete, check "Reload" and click OK.
   4. Download the updated HQ station prefill file from http://bit.ly/itudtb
   (I'm updating it daily now).  This will download itu.zip.
   5. Select File | Explore | /database directory.  This will open Windows
   Explorer.
   6. Open itu.zip and extract.  Copy and paste itu.dtb to the /database
   folder opened in step 5.  Ignore the other files.
   7. Select Options | Data Entry | Exchange guessing | Automatically so
   that the data will be pre-filled as soon as you type the last letter of the
   call.
   8. Restart Win-Test (REOPENNOW [Enter] is the fastest way to do this)

Now if you type KM5PS, it will display Zone 07.   If you type W100AW, it
will display ARRL.  If not, review the steps above.

73,
Bob, N6TV
