The EditDXCC Call Download and Upload feature is an very nice enhancement to the program. Works well.

I have log entries that go back to 1968 and I have a few deleted countries. I have added a couple of Prefix entries. I was not sure on a couple of these what a good start date would be. There are many of these type of changes listed at http://www.arrl.org/deleted-entities the additions below worked for me to covered my deleted countries and get my DXCC and DXCC Challenge counts in line.

KR6 ## 1903-01-01 1972-05-14
KZ5 ## 1903-01-01 1979-09-30
OK ## 1903-01-01 1992-12-31
OL ## 1903-01-01 1992-12-31
OM ## 1903-01-01 1992-12-31
Y2 ## 1973-09-17 1990-10-02


Keep the faith, Jim

If anyone is interested I can look at the ARRL Web page and figure out a few of these Prefix entities that are deleted if you wish.

Back in the day I built my own windows logging program using batch files.

You can email me at wa9ysd@yahoo.com

Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF

After looking at my log I had also added
Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y8, Y9 with the same dates as Y2 and set them All to Deleted.

Be carful with Y88POL since he is in the Antarctic. You may have to make an exception for this one.

Since the prefixes Y2-Y9 are not given to another country yet, it is not required at put it into the database and to mark these as deleted. When a prefix will not be found in the database, it will not be assigned. Per default RUMlog does not handle "Deleted Countries"! (But you can add it, this is another story)
Take care, between 1990-10-03 and 1992-12-31 these prefixes are valid for DL!

OK, then I just do not get it then. SO how can that be? so GDR is deleted as well?

There is

DA-DM (Germany) Jan 1, 1903 to Sep 17 1973 Deleted
Y2-Y9 Jan 1, 1903 to Sep 17, 1973 Deleted
DA-DL (FRG) Sep 17, 1973 to Dec 31, 2030
Y2-Y9 (GDR) Sep 17, 1973 to Dec 31, 2030
DM Sep 17, 1973 to Oct 2, 1990 = GDR
Y2-Y9 Sep 17, 1973 to Oct 2, 1990 = GDR
DM Oct 3 1990 to Dec 31, 2030 = FRG
Y2-Y9 Oct 3 1990 to Dec 31, 2030 =FRG

18 (DA-DM) Only contacts made September 16, 1973, and before, count for this entity. Contacts made September 17, 1973, and after, count as either FRG (DA-DL) or GDR(Y2-Y9).

19 (DM, Y2-Y9) Only contacts made from September 17, 1973 and October 2, 1990 count for this entity. On October 3, 1990 the GDR became part of the FRG.

What Are deleted then?

This is how it stands to make my ARRL DXCC Challenge totals to be in sync.
