[LOGic] LOIG PREFIX & COUNTIRES TABLES - Montenegro is newest ARRL DXCC entity

Thu Jun 29 19:42:03 EDT 2006

Hello group...
Since I am going thru the transition from LOGIC 7 to LOGIC 8, it is also
time to review my PREFIX, COUNTIRES, and other tables to assure everything
is current.
The ARRL has just announced that Montenegro is a new DXCC entity...what
tweaks need to be done to which tables to make them currrent?
While at the process, what other new entities, DXpeditions, 1x1 calls,
special events, and other changes have taken place in the last 3-5 years
that need to be reviewed in one's database?
Thanks and 73
Dan
