Hello!

If stations from Russia has added their oblast in LOTW, those from
Moscow (MA) or Moscow region (MO) will in DX4WIN sometimes be added as
MA zone 5 or MO zone 4, respectively. Thus it seems like if there is
an abrevation that is the same as an US state it will be entered in
the state field and the CQ zone of that state will be added,
independent of country prefix. This has also true for one VK6 stations
(WA) and and one BY4 stations (SD).

I have attached a copy of a record from LOTW that afte import to
DX4WIN turns up as:
Perfix UA
State MO
Zone 4

It is not all imported records that have this effekt. The second
record (R3AG) did not add MA to the State field.

I am using DX4WIN 8.05 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X201 with Windows 7.
