Brian,
things are different expecially by using the *Packet BBS*...
let me illustrate perhaps tomorrow or after tomorrow what
was overlooked by TAPR.

Scott;
The reason we switched from 2-Letter to 4-Letter Continent identifiers was
because some continents have been defined within ISO-3166 as top level
domains such as you point out in your Africa list. Nambia is "dot"NA already.
The end of an address - .na
Country / Territory 2 Letter 3 Letter ccTLD(Country Domain Extension)
Namibia NA NAM .na
I wasn't aware you live in Nambia using .NA in your address -
just as I see many others south of the equator from me using .sa
claiming they were in Saudi Arabia.
Hopefully now you can understand why it was decided that using a 4-letter
continent code on packet radio was made.
