[Dxbase] Refdata update for Russian Prefixes/Callsigns - Joe wa6axe

[Gary AL9A]

First, let me add my kudos for all the efforts Joe has made and continues to 
make to keep DXBase a great logging and awards tracking program.  Your 
efforts are greatly appreciated Joe!

Unfortunately, I'm one of those still running DXB2006 so Joe's 
Refdata/Logbook Analyzer and Updater program won't work for me.  I know I 
could upgrade to 2007, but haven't yet convinced myself to go through the 
pain of that process.  I keep hoping Neal's rewrite of DXB will materialize 
soon so I only have to do the deed once! :)

In the meantime, I will try to update my Refdata with the new Russian prefix 
allocations by hand.  Does anyone have a date that these changes went into 
effect?  I think a date certain is needed to help with updating any recent 
Russian QSO data if necessary and for awards tracking reports.  Any date 
info help would be appreciated.

73,
Gary AL9A
