dxcty_parser

Parse cty.dat (the AD1C "country file") and resolve amateur radio callsigns to DXCC entities — country, CQ zone, ITU zone, continent, lat/long, and GMT offset.

Usage

>>> from dxcty_parser import load_cty
>>> table = load_cty()  # build once, reuse for many lookups
>>> result = table.lookup("W1AW")
>>> print(f'Result: {result.entity.country}, {result.entity.itu_zone}')
Result: United States, 8

CLI

This is intended to be used as a library. The CLI is just for testing purpose.

% dxcty_parser W1AW KM6ETX
W1AW: United States (K) CQ=5 ITU=8 Cont=NA GMT=-5.0 Latitude=42.38, Longitude=71.65
KM6ETX: United States (K) CQ=3 ITU=6 Cont=NA GMT=-8.0 Latitude=35.48, Longitude=119.35

Requirements

Python 3.10+, standard library only.
