I think I've come across a bug in 'sort'. Using the attached file (please
let me know if the attachment is stripped from this email), I tried to sort
on the 5th column of states/countries by using:
sort -k 5 c3
The first few lines look like:
10-Apr-2008 W7GVE 729C Ed AZ 10.120
18-May-2008 W1GUE 1998 Ed NH 7.055
28-Apr-2008 KG4W 2416T Ed VA 7.055
11-May-2008 K4ZGB 796T Tom AL 7.055
16-May-2008 9A2VJ 2533 Vel CROATIA 14.052

already not properly sorted by state/country.
I think you have missed that unless you specify -b that spaces are
part of each field.
