Wed Jul 20 14:43:08 EDT 2011

Peter,
Answer #1: ARRL ID 521 has ALREADY been assigned by the ARRL.. I am NOT assuming here ..
Answer #2 - I forgot to mentioned about the fact that you MUST get out of the Country Database after
step #1 -- then proceed with step #2 and STep #3 ..
Everything shud work all ok..

 Just one potential “gotcha” here: From: dxbase at yahoogroups.com [mailto:dxbase at yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe WA6AXE
Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Primary TAB[pjd] 
[pjd] This works fine (assuming it will be entity 521, which is logical)
Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Alias Map TAB
Scrolldown to the bottom of this window and type-in the following info:
Map PFX: ST0S
Pri PFX: ST0S[pjd] This, too is correct. However, after this step (at least when I did it), going on to the third step caused a small problem. Namely the new one you created wasn’t fully registered yet for some reason. This, when went into the CALL MAP TAB and tried to map ST0S to ST0R, it didn’t give me that option. In the drop down box there was ST or old-deleted ST0, and no option for ST0R yet. I had to close the Prefix Databases window, initialize the tables and re-open it again. When I did, the ST0S entity was available to map the new call to. Be careful here or else you’ll be mapping your QSOs to the deleted South Sudan instead!
Main Menu / Tools/ Database Access / Country Prefixes .../ Call Map TAB
Scrolldown to the bottom of this window and type-in the following info:
Callsign: ST0R
Prefix: ST0S[pjd] I’m guessing the ITU will in fact assign a different block at some point, but for now, this is as easy a solution as any. Thanks (as always). ----------------------------------------------------Regards,Peter Dougherty, W2IRT
