Regarding TO prefixes.

I understand it as the "TO" prefix being any/all France Overseas Territories.  N1NN will only recognize the country of a TO a call when it is mapped in the DXCC Country file (maintained by Jim, AD1C).  The periodic updates from AD1C are likely driven primarily by new such callsigns after assignment. 

So if the current file doesn't have TO5M listed and mapped as St Martin, the DXCC entry will be wrong.  This is backed up when using the DX Atlas "Resolve Callsign" tool.  Typing in JUST a prefix of "TO" returns the following, multiple countries:

I have had the same issue with the TO prefix using N1MM, so you are not unique with that problem…

Hit send too quick. I believe the issue is not the Zone but it doesn't recognize TO5 as being St Martin (where TO5M is located) because after it finally logged the Q it leaves the country blank.

Jonathan - I had the same issue TO5M (Using N1MM). It kept telling me Zone 8 was not valid for this call sign. I logged another Q then re-entered TO5M with Zone 8 and it accepted it. Beats me what the issue was, or is.

I'm having fun doing S & P. I'm  pretty much working everything I hear,,,, Except Brazil, Spain & Italy.  Nothing new so far. But still fun.

This morning my N1MM would NOT accept TO5M. It gave me an "invalid Zone" stopsign. No big deal, but I wonder why.
Ok, back to the salt mines... Looking for a Gold nugget.
