[DogParkList] MacLoggerDX and Montenegro

[Don Agro]

Hi,

After receiving numerous emails on the subject here is the low-down  
on Montenegro and MacLoggerDX...

4O3T will log as Montenegro in version 4.2.6 of MacLoggerDX if you  
log it as "4O3T-M" otherwise 4O3T without the suffix will log as Serbia.

This goes for all the former Serbia and Montenegro calls...

4N-4O, YT-YU, YZ

When (and if) Montenegro is assigned a new block of calls then no  
suffix will be necessary.

Here is the section of the manual that covers Overlapping DXCC  
Identities ...

Overlapping DXCC Identities and Call Suffixes

There are a number of cases where a station's call sign does not  
uniquely identify it's DXCC ID. For example ZK1 can be North Cook  
Island or South Cook Island.To handle cases like this MacLoggerDX  
employs a suffix. To indicate the call you are looking up or logging  
is North Cook Island append "-N" to the call sign: ZK1ASQ-N, to  
indicate South Cook Island append "-S" to the call sign: ZK1ASQ-S.  
These suffixes are dropped on export to ADIF (so as not to confuse  
the LoTW). The suffixes are shown in the Awards Panel/DXCC. The  
suffix sould be appended to the portable prefix not the base call,  
for example "FO-A/DL3GA" logs as Austral Island.

To edit a previously logged call and add or change the suffix You  
just have to edit the Call field in the Log Panel, delete the Country  
field, press the "Save" button and then the "Reload" button to see  
the change take effect.

MacLoggerDX also employs a dxpeditions.dat file to identify special  
issue calls for dxpeditions like "K8T". Dxpeditions.dat is one of the  
files that can be updated over the Internet.
