Re: [Jtdx-improved-community] DXCC Names

[Uwe, D. <dg...@gm...>]

Hi Micheal,

Line 219 of countrydat.cpp (= one of the source files) makes, among
others, the following substitution:

_name.insert("UnitedStates",tr("U.S.A."));

The same is done for example for ".. Is." instead of "... Island". This
is part of the original JTDX source code, I didn't change that. But, I
mean, the reason is obvious. Some country names would be so long that
they disturb or break the GUI.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
