KH6ND logs in wrong country

I'm having a problem logging KH6ND, recently worked in NAQP CW. Michael is operating from Arizona. Unfortunately, this time he chose not to sign his call as /W7. RUMlog insists on putting it in Hawaii. When I uploaded the log, ClubLog complained that it was in the wrong country, that it maps by exception to USA.

RUMlog will not give me any method to change this log entry for it to be correct as K, not KH6. How can I fix this problem so I don't get the complaints from ClubLog?

OK, thank you. That fixed KH6ND and LU1ZA for me.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fix:

LU4AA/F Argentina special call (ClubLog exception)
KP4Q/4 Lives in Florida (not Puerto Rico)
LS4AA/F Argentina special call (ClubLog exception)
LU1ZI South Shetland Is (ClubLog exception)
HK0GU/1 Columbia (not San Andres Island)
KC4/N2TA Antarctica (not USA - ClubLog exception)
KG4PPO/KH2 Guam (not USA)

There should be some way to clean up these errors, even if the callsign rules aren't correctly followed.

In the case of KC4/N2TA, I tried it the correct way, using N2TA/KC4 but it still shows as USA. KG4PPO/KH2 is a correct callsign format, but the log still doesn't parse it correctly to be Guam. HK0GU/I should apparently be interpreted as HK1, but it's not.

I'm just trying to make my logbook contain correct information in all cases, apparently hard to do.

THANKS so very much, Tom, for pointing me in the correct direction to solve my problem. I have now cleaned up about a dozen log entries that had been troubling me, from the Argentine special event stations to a number of lighthouse stations who choose to sign "/LGT" after their callsigns when operating on the lighthouse weekend.

Thanks again for your excellent support!
