Win-Test Databases directory readme file ---------------------------------------- This directory contains 3 types of files : - Countries / Mult files - Mult equivalence files - Exchange Databases Some of them are zipped to save space and bandwidth on our server. Here's a short description for each of them : Countries / Mult files ====================== These files are used by WT to maintain countries or multipliers lists The default country files (CTY*.DAT) are now in this directory : http://download.win-test.com/files/country/ Mult lists files, specific to some contests : * AGCW.DAT : AGCW Happy New Year contest Maintained by Lothar DJ8EW (Lothar _at_ Sack-Erding.de) * ARISEC.DAT : ARI Sezioni contest * DOK.DAT : DARC WAG contest * DOK_XMAS.DAT : DARC Xmas contest * IOTA.DAT : RSGB IOTA contest * RDA.DAT : RDA contest * UFT.DAT : UFT HF contest Mult equivalence files ====================== These files are useful to substitute entered exchanges with official ones. * ARIPROV.DAT : ARI Contest * OBLASTS.DAT : Russian DX contest * STATES.DAT : ARRL 10m, ARRL DX (DX side) and CQWW 160m contests * VEPROV.DAT : RAC Canada Day and Canada Winter contests Exchange Databases ================== Preamble : The WT databases are used, if possible, to "guess" the received exchanges. These are binary files and are not editable with a text editor. * VHF.DTB is used for all VHF+ EU contests. Note : VHF_USA.DTB (inside in VHF_USA.ZIP) must be used for US VHF+ contests and VHF DXPed (US callsigns and 4-chars locators). This file is maintained by Dave W9ZRX (zephd _at_ indy.rr.com) To use the VHF_USA.DTB file, download it, and rename it VHF.DTB. These files must be located in %PROGRAMDATA%/Win-Test/databases/ (for Win-Test v4) and your WT installation directory (for Win-Test v3). Other databases are adapted for some contests : * AGCW DTC : AGCW_DTC.DTB (German LDK) * AGCW Happy New Year : AGCW_HNY.DTB (AGCW membership numbers) Maintained by Lothar DJ8EW (Lothar _at_ Sack-Erding.de) * ARI and ARI 40/80 : ARI.DTB (Italian provinces) * ARI Sezioni : ARI_SEZIONI.DTB (Italian sections numbers) * ARRL 10m : ARRL_10M.DTB (K/VE States/Prov + KH/KL St. + XE States) * ARRL 160m : ARRL_160M.DTB (K + US territories Sections + VE Prov.) * ARRL DX contest - DX side : ARRL-USVE.DTB (K/VE States/Prov.) * ARRL DX contest - US and VE side : ARRL-DX.DTB (DX power) * ARRL Round Up : ARRL-USVE.DTB (K/VE States/Prov.) * ARRL Sweepstakes : ARRL_160M.DTB (K + US territories Sections + VE Prov.) * CQ WW DX CW/SSB : CQWW.DTB (WAZ Zones) * CQ WW DX RTTY : ARRL-USVE.DTB (K/VE States/Prov.) * CQ WW 160m : ARRL-USVE.DTB (K/VE States/Prov.) * DARC 10m : WAG_DL.DTB (German DOK) - Maintained by dk9tn _at_ gmx.de * DARC XMas : WAG_DL.DTB (German DOK) - Maintained by dk9tn _at_ gmx.de * EU DX : EU_DX.DTB (European Union Regions) * EU HF : EU_HF.DTB (Years of Licence - 2 digits) * FOC Marathon : FOC_MARATHON.DTB (FOC membership numbers) * HA DX : HADX.DTB (Hungarian Counties) * Helvetia DX : HELVETIA_DX.DTB (Swiss Cantons) * IARU HF : ITU.DTB (ITU zones + HQ) * IOTA : IOTA.DTB (IOTA References) * JIDX - DX side : JIDX.DTB (Japanese Prefectures numbers) * JIDX - JA side : CQWW.DTB (WAZ Zones) * KCJ : KCJ.DTB (JA Districts) * King Of Spain : KOS.DTB (EA Provinces) * LZ DX - DX side : LZDX.DTB (LZ Districts) * LZ DX - LZ side : ITU.DTB (ITU Zones) * NAQP : ARRL-ALL.DTB (US + KH/KL St. + VE Prov.w/ VO1 & VO2 = NL) * NA Sprint : ARRL-ALL.DTB (US + KH/KL St. + VE Prov.w/ VO1 & VO2 = NL) * NCCC : NCCC.DTB (US + KH/KL St. + VE Prov.w/ VE1, VE9, VO1, VO2, VY2 = MAR) * NRAU Baltic : NRAU_BALTIC.DTB (ES, LA, LY, OH,OZ, SM, TF, YL Prov.) * OK/OM DX : OKOMDX.DTB (OK/OM districts) * PACC - DX side: PACC_DX.DTB (PA Provinces) * RAC Day and RAC Winter : ARRL-USVE.DTB (K/VE States/Prov.) * RAEM : RAEM.DTB (Geographical Coordinates) * RDA : RDAC.DTB (Russian RDA numbers) * Russian DX : RDXC.DTB (Russian Oblasts) * REF HF : REFHF.DTB (French Departments and Overseas terr.
