The profile's MY_* metadata is derived from the callsign through cty.dat, and the
effect that derives it ran on every load — so opening the settings counted as
"the source changed" and overwrote whatever the operator had typed. Reported by
an operator in CQ 4 / ITU 4 handed 5 and 9: he corrected them, and each restart
put 5 and 9 back.
cty.dat gives the zones of the ENTITY, and a large country spans several, so the
automatic value cannot be treated as authoritative — it is a starting point. A
load now fills only fields that are EMPTY; a recompute that overwrites happens
only when the callsign or grid itself changes, which is the case the derivation
exists for.
The load-vs-edit distinction is a ref holding the profile id the values were last
derived from — first sight of a profile is a load.
