Downloading the country database

Data about countries can be downloaded from either Amateur Radio Country Files by AD1C or Clublog.

Obtaining the AD1C country database

Download any cty.dat file from the Country Files website. I recommend using the Big CTY file. Instead of cty.dat you can also use the cty.csv file.

Parsing of cty.dat or cty.csv can be done with the script cty-parser.ts.

Note: The cty.dat does not contain the adif DXCC number.

Obtaining the Clublog prefix database OBSOLETE

Read how to obtain the Clublog prefix file here

Parsing can be done with the script clublog-parser.ts.

Updating the country database

1. Download the latest Big CTY (cty.csv) file from Country Files.
2. Run the script cty-parser.ts to parse the cty.csv file.
3. Run npm version minor to update the version number.
4. Run pnpm build to build the code.
5. Publish the new version to npm with npm publish.
