This is a very difficult problem to solve.  How do you tell the program that AX
is Australia, but AX# may not be?  DX4WIN trys to match on the longest thing it
can find - first callsign, then 4-letter prefixes, then 3 then 2.  You would
end up not mapping ANY prefixes, and just have callsign mappings for these
entities.  Do you know how big the country file would be (i.e. listing all VP8
callsigns in the Falklands)?

More often than not, an announcement preceeds the operation from one of these
special entities.  AX0MT was the exception, unfortunately.

We have become too accustomed to software and spotting, instead of just tuning
around, working what sounds interesting, then worrying later.
