[WT-support] IARU HF Championship 2016 - special operating stations

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

J77HQ and J87HQ have been in the latest .dtb file for a long time, so your
copy of Win-Test is probably reading the wrong .DTB file.  This usually
happens if you neglect to change the Win-Test shortcut Properties, under
the Compatibility tab, to *Run this program as an Administrator*.  In that
case, Win-Test looks in a different virtual folder for the itu.dtb file.

Even though selecting *File | Explore | / databases directory* in the
Win-Test menu shows that the itu.dtb file is there, Win-Test will not use
it unless Win-Test is configured to run as an Administrator.  Being logged
in with an Administrator ID is usually *not* sufficient.

Also, make sure the file is named itu.dtb, not itu.dtb.dtb.  Windows hides
the last part of the file name (the "extension") by default.  Step-by-step
instructions for fixing Windows so that you can see the full file name in
the Windows Explorer may be found here
<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Check_Partial_and_Np1_Files#Viewing_hidden_files_and_folders>
.

Check the file dates inside the Zip file too.  They should match the file
dates in your /databases directory.  And of course you have to unzip the
file and replace any copy that is already there.

73,
Bob, N6TV
