Other Files

Other files in the Win-Test directory:

• wt.ini: Win-Test's initialization file. It contains information saved from the previous Win-Test session, including file name, callsign, grid locator, address, window positions and color settings. DO NOT MODIFY - unless you know what you are doing! Starting wt.exe with the -i or --alternative-ini parameter allows you to select a specific .INI file. This way you can create templates for different situations, and use different desktop icons to select them. For more information, see WT.INI.

  • cty_wt.dat: Extended DXCC countries file. Modified and maintained by the Win-Test team. It contains CQ and ITU zones for VE and VK prefixes and for most of the Russian call areas. The latest version is available at http://download.win-test.com/files/country/.
  • cty_wt_mod.dat: Extended and detailed DXCC countries file. Modified and maintained by F5IN based on the cty_wt.dat file.
