That sounds like a problem left over from the 1980s/1990s.  If your
logging program really has this issue, then you really should think
about switching logging programs.  There's no reason that the logging
program can't identity the country from the callsign in the format
that the operator is sending.  The ONLY possible source of confusion
is when the part before the '/' has the same number of characters as
the part after the '/', for example VP2V/NY6X (active in May 2012).
DX4WIN knows how to handle this case, and many others like it.

Ed, I'm not singling you out. ANYONE who has this problem should switch.
