North Korea disappeared after update

[DL4KG]

Hi all,

after running the DXCC update procedure I used the "verify data" and after checking the country validality I did not find P5 "North Korea" in the database anymore. Playing around I found the QSO records in the list of missing entities. This seems strange to me as there are normally no QSOs to be displayed at all. Any idea how to solve this issue? I also tried it with a new installation of WL32 but the same story again.

Hi Gerald,
I have the same problem My contacts with N/Korea in 1986 are not showing in DXCC but I have the QSO in the required entites I have tried to reload but no luck may be a bug.

Sorry for trouble guys

There was for a long time a confusion over correct entity code for North Korea - a discrepancy in the original ADIF spec started the problem, I have now updated the DXCC database with what is now the current thinking, correct code for DPRK = 344, unfortunately I also overlooked updating the Prefix database to reflect this change (although this did not cause the problem).

First, download latest prefix update.

In DXCC Database - right side worked list - query = ALL, correct country code for "North Korea" or "DPR or Korea" to 344 in any QSO (N.B. "Republic of Korea" is South Korea - no change).

This should now be corrected?

As I am still awaiting my first DPRK QSO I never spotted this one!

Hi Rich

If you know what the wanted countries are (you should!), then select that country from the list and check if any QSO has been incorrectly entered, if it has, then just delete the QSO from the worked list.

If that doesn't correct it, let me have details of what the countries are (email if you prefer) and I'll see if there is anything else it could be.

Hi Colin
Yes I checked against the countries that I require no QSO there to delete.
I wonder if I made a mistake tying to sort out N/Korea before you sent us the up date .
Required Amsterdam & St Paul FT2Z Auckland & Campbell ZL9
Heard Is VK0H and Central Kiribati T31 there is a dxpedition next April T31A so hopefully a chance.
I have a back up on my second computer but of course I have the same problem there because I copy over nightly .

Hi Rich

Could you zip and send me the DXCC.MDB file as an attachment, I'll try and sort it out for you.
