[Dx4win] Country error because of wrongly given callsign

Hi
When foreign operators operate in China, they have to give their 
callsign first, followed by the callsign of the club station they use. 
So it is indeed China, and yes, you may just change the country to BY in 
the prefix box.
This is sort of an exception to the general rule that says that the 
begining of the call is always the entity from which the QSL takes 
place. Americans operating in Canada often use 5 I think they have to do 
it this way) W1XYZ/VE3 while they theoritically should sign VE3/W1XYZ. 
Maybe someone in Canada or USA can comment on the correct form to use in 
these cases.
