I also wish to send my thanks to you Mark, as you put me on the right track to update the POTA references.

And then some extra info, if anybody can use it :
The csv from pota.app has a lot of errors regarding DXCC's from FR, MY & SG. (Missing DXCC number)
I have gotten around that by editing one of the csv's so the errors are corrected, and now when I download a new csv file from pota.app, I open it in notepad++, find the lines that are new in regard to my latest corrected file, and copy these lines into my own file, and save it with a new filename eg pota-20240311.csv
It is quite easy, as they always just add new parks in the end of the file

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for the flowers Thomas, and thanks for sharing!

Yesterday I've heard that POTA is going to update a lot of their reference prefixes. So maybe not the best time to put a lot of effort into cleaning up the .csv file...... :?
