New Country Table
The Swisslog Country Table was updated 5 June and included with the version 5.117 release.
In the update I reviewed and identified some of the UK callsigns where the licensee has elected to drop the regional identifier (GD, GI, GJ, GM etc). This is now allowable per a recent change from OFCOM.
The following definitions were added. It is by no means an exhaustive list, merely some of the most active stations.
M8TSH, M9SMC and M9WGP are all Northern Ireland, GI
M8DOI, M8HZR, M8IYV, M8LAO, M8NEG, M8SNT, M8UAT, M8XZA, M9DEL, M9SNW, M9SRU and M9STM are all Scotland, GM
M8CYE, M8ENA, M8FBB, M8PVZ, M8RBW, M9LPZ, M9MMB, M9MWZ, M9SAE and M9TGX are all Wales, GW
By far the vast majority of UK stations do wish to retain their country identity by sending the full prefix. However, should an accurate logbook be important, it is recommended that you review all UK calls worked and amend the DXCC where required.
If you encounter callsigns where Swisslog does not assign the correct DXCC, please post to this thread with the details.
