This turned out to be a useful exercise.  I found two missing prefix
mappings and one missing callsign exception.  More importantly, I
found an error in my master Russian database which made all UA0H
prefixes look like UA0A.  Even though the CQ zones match, the ITU
zones do NOT match, and there are contest databases that use the
Oblast, so it's important to get these right.  I found a similar
mistake with UA9G prefixes a week or two ago.

I should have a new file some time Saturday.

- Jim
