[Dx4win] Callsign maps to wrong country

[Ing. Miloš Prostecký]

Hi Steve,

there are problems with YT4 calls from Bosnia/Herzegovina as licence was not
issued from official authorities. That is why most of them (or all) are not
valid for DXCC!

Hi,

This morning, I was getting cards checked for DXCC and the card checker came
across an issue.  One of my QSL cards was listed as Serbia on my
paperwork, but the card is actually from Bosnia & Herzegovina.  This puzzled
me, so I investigated.

I used a report printout from DX4WIN (v8.03) to draw up my paperwork.  It
turns out that the callsign of this card, YT4I, comes up as Serbian when
entered into DX4WIN.  That makes sense, because the DXCC list says that YT
is a Serbian prefix.  However, the QSL card says it's Bosnia &
Herzegovina.  Per the DXCC Entity List, E7 is the Bosnia/Herzegovina prefix,
that was effective as of Nov 2007.  The QSL card is for a QSO in Feb 1998.
Best I can figure is that Bosnia/Herzegovina used the YT prefix prior to
2007.

I recall that there is a way to map a specific callsign to an
alternate country, but I did some text searches in DX4WIN's helpfile and
didn't find anything about it.  How can I get the log entry for this
callsign to show correct as Bosnia/Herzegovina?

Thanks
