This program generates a list of Japan Prefectures that have been confirmed, a list of unconfirmed prefectures, and a mapchartSave.txt file for upload to https://www.mapchart.net/japan.html to visualize the prefectures.

The following ADIF tags in the file being analyzied are used:

• <STATION_CALLSIGN> Your callsign; Optional, Needed for -c option
• <STATE> Prefecture of station worked; Required
• <DXCC> DXCC entity of station worked; Required
• <MODE> Mode used; Optional, Needed for -m option
• <BAND> Band used; Optional, Needed for -b option
• <SAT_NAME> Name of satellite used; Optional, needed for -s option
• <PROP_MODE> Propagation mode; Optional, needed for --satonly and --nosat options

This can be obtained by using the ARRL Logbook of the World Query by Rick Murphy K1MU found at URL: https://www.rickmurphy.net/lotwquery.htm

Use the following settigs when Querying LoTW for your contact records:

• Include worked station location data in report? YES
• Include operator location data in report? YES
• Include owner callsign in report? YES
