<div>That file still does not work correctly. My Win-Test thinks NT is NTX unless I add the following line:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>NT NT</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then all is normal for me.</div>

<div>73, Paul, VE3TA</div></blockquote><div><br>Paul,<br><br>It sounds like you may still have the old version of ARRLSEC.DAT in
your Win-Test directory, or you edited the current one instead of
downloading the <a href="http://download.win-test.com/files/equivalence/ARRLSEC.DAT">new one</a>. There is never a reason to add a line like "NT NT" to an
equivalence (or "synonym") file. This file is not a list of ARRL section multipliers
(note that SCV isn't listed, for example). It is a list of alternate
spellings for the standard multipliers.<br>

</span><br>During the ARRL Sweepstakes contest, I heard a confused operating send his ARRL section as
"SWF" (Southwest Florida??). No such section. Maybe he meant WCF
(West Central Florida)? I don't think we need to add SWF to the
equivalence file, at least not yet. :-)<br>
