[Dxbase] Unexpected prefix classification

[Ron Stordahl]

I typed my original posting wrong!  what I should had said is:

Just got a spot for KC2NMZ/C6A and in the summary box it translated to:

USA New Jersey  C6

Now KC2NMZ is New Jersey, but he is portable in the Bahamas.  So what is 
strange here is that it is translating it to USA New Jersey when I would 
have thought it would say Bahamas  C6.  It only does this when the call 
is in the spot window.  If you type KC2NMZ/C6A in the space provided in 
the summary window it translates it correctly to Bahamas C6.

So it's possible that with any K call  / portable something that it may 
be identified incorrectly.  It's more common to have the dx prefix 
first, so it could be that this problem has been around for a while but 
not noticed.  At least this is the first time I have seen this incorrect 
classification.
