Re: [Dx4win] Updating/overriding country prefixes in DX4Win.

2016-10-17 Thread Randy Farmer 
Yup. I've been carrying a QSO for years that was credited to the wrong 
country by the DXCC desk. With each update of the cty file I have to 
manually change it back. The way I handle it is to put "EXCEPTION CALL" 
in the "Notes for this Call" field. After each new update is loaded I do 
a quick F8 and search for "EXCEPTION" and fix it again.

open the QSO you want to change in the QSO window, then hover over the 'country 
prefix', and then hit 'F1" on the key board, that brings up the country pick 
list, you should be able to choose the country for this qso.
