[WT-support] Country File Error?

[Harry Herr, W6HH]

  Hello Bob,
  Well, I modified all 3 files and loaded my log with each of the files 
selected and still no KH6.  I also checked my machine and I have only 
one copy of each with a file date of 2011.03.05.00 for CTY.DAT and 
2011.03.01.00 for the others, all are in the Win-Test\countryFiles 
directory.

I guess I should have stayed with CTWin and my old XP machine.  I don't 
remember having a problem like this before but perhaps I never worked 
KH6YR before.
Thanks,
Harry
