Hi Colin

I might be wrong , not sure , so please check it and let me know :

I am still transfering my old Paper Logs to Winlog32 , i logged S83H In the late 80's , it was Counted as Transkei Territory ( today it is belongs to R.S.A) .
Now --when i am searching a Callsign ,S83H , It Recognize it as Transkei, But , the DXCC DataBase is NOT Updated for this one , eigther not in the Deleted ones !...
In the Qso Page , it gives all Data's : Continent , CQ Zone , ITU Zone but ---it Country is not Highlighted .

So....When doing a "Search Callsign" for S83 , It define it as Transkei , but when typing and entering the Qso for S83 , It is not updated in the DXCC Database table .
When I am running the "Robot" , and it asks me for changing the Country for it , the Transkei is not Shown there too...

iirc , Transkei is counted as a DELETED , Since 1990.

Maybe that one could be fixed /Edited in the next Version .

Hi Eyran

According to the official DXCC Deleted list.......

http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/deleted_list.html

S8-Transkei is not listed therein (I think it counts as RSA)

I know this prefix was used from there but does not count for DXCC?

The DXCC database is specific for the DXCC award, so does not contain any countries that do not count e.g. WAE Countries etc.

Colin ,Thanks For Clarification .
There were probably some changes in the last years in the DELETED List.
I Just remember i saw Transkei Listed there in 1990...
