[Dx4win] Prefix Logic

[R.T.Liddy]

Yes, Paul, that's the joke -hihi. 98% of the Govt's have no idea

they did!!  In fact, some might purposely deviate just to show
they have the power.    73,   Bob K8BL

Licensing authorities (or administrations) don't give a s..t about DXCC.
Some DXCC prefixes became the standard "official" ones AFTER the 
callsigns were issued, not the opposite...
