Stu & others,
Not sure why LoTW QSLs show up with county problems in DXbase2005. I'm
still using DXbase2003. In the 2003 edition the AK "counties" are listed as
the four regions of AK - Central, North-West, South-Central and South-East.
Maybe the county hunters has changed their definition since then? Waiting
for the 2006 edition and my DSL hookup to upgrade. I did find a bookmark in
my browser that I had forgotten about that has a better definition of what
areas are included in the various judicial districts. Take a look at
