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

[Michael Ruttenberg]

Hi Bob

I opened the ITU.dtb file yesterday with Notepad and J7 and J8 weren't in it.

All the other stuff you mentioned were as described.

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.
