[LOGic] PREFIX TABLE FIX FOR "TO"?

[K0DAN]

Thanks Greg...

I didn't know that the French "TO" prefixes were as worldwide as you say.

I've run into this before with some of the TO# calls, so, as I'm patting 
myself on the back for a new one, I discover text I've entered into prior 
LOGic QSO's pointing out the misinterpretation.

It has happened with TO0, TO3, TO5, TO6, TO8 prefixes, all relatively easy 
to work and not-so-rare locations in the Caribbean or Windward islands, and 
not anything nearly as exotic as the "real" Juean de Nova! Maybe when the 
propagation picks up again, a DXped will head out there to solve the problem 
for us....in the meantime I guess I'll take your suggestion and add each 
call to the prefix table and manually edit my prior QSO's!

Thanks and 73
