[Dxbase] RE: Dxbase Digest, Vol 5, Issue 19

Hi Bill,
 That's the problem, the LOTW is sending Country Code 344, but according to
DXBase2005 (Tools -> Database Access -> Country Prefixes) P5 should be
Country Code 433. Joe (WA6AXE) pointed me to
http://www.hosenose.com/adif/adif.html for the official ADIF Specs, and it
also says that P5 should be 433. Google searches for "ADIF specification"
also point to places that show it to be 433. I can't find anything except
the LOTW download that shows P5 being 344. Searching for 344 also finds
nothing. Unless the DXbase database and the on-line ADIF specs are out
of date, I think the ARRL is sending the wrong code for P5 North Korea.
Thanks for checking and let me know if I'm missing something!
By the way, I get the digest form of the reflector, so if you reply please
cc: me on the reply so that I see it quicker!
Thanks!

Interesting Dave.
I went to my LoTW, did a search on P5/4l4fn and brought up my qsls for this
country
They all said under the Worked Station part
DXCC DRPK (NORHT KOREA) (344)
CQ ZONE 25
ITU ZONE 44
ETC.
I just redownloaded my lotwreport.adi and found that P5/4L4FN does indeed
have the proper 
.adi country code of 344.
I can't imagine why your .adi and mine would be different.
Unless, you downloaded yours first, a long time ago, and he since corrected
the error.
Only other guess is a glitch while downloading, but the CRC should have
picked that up.
