[Dxbase] LOTW upload question

Well now I've created myself another problem!  Seems I goofed when making my 
LOTW certificate request and accepted the default DXCC Entity of United 
States of America instead of changing it to Alaska.  Now I've got a mail box 
full of questions about whether I am really in Alaska!  Even ARRL sent me an 
email stating that they are getting a lot of queries about the mistake.

Norm W3IZ sent instructions on how to change the DXCC Entity, but it doesn't 
work.  He basically says I should go into Edit Station and change the info 
there to create a new station location.  Problem is the DXCC Entity box is 
grayed out and won't let me change United States of America to Alaska. 
Anyone have a idea how this can be done?  I've emailed ARRL, but they're 
gone for the day and I will probably have an overflowing inbox by tomorrow 
morning!

Why is it I suddenly remember that old adage about it takes a computer to 
really screw things up?
