E5A-E5Z is designated as Cook Island by the Allocation of International Call 
signs. ARRL Post the same thing on their web site. I had thought the old prefix 
was ZK1. I believe in 2006 this was changed to E5.  ZK1 had the same issues. E5 
can also be a New Zealand call as well.

New Zealand is trying to give the Cooks their own prefix as their prefixes run 
out.  Look this issue up on Wikipedia to get more details. Just my opinion.

Each logging program thats out there deals with this issue in their own way. 
Best is keeping up with publications and try to prepare for what prefixes New 
Zealand issues for the Cooks for what Island.
 
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
