<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The numbers are contained in
wpxloc.raw, which is an extended version of the original file for
prefix info that AK1A use[sd]. <br>
<br>
These numbers predate ADIF by at least ten years.<br>
<br>
When I originally asked a very similar question (in 1997 and
several times afterwards) for a definitive set of "DXCC" numbers:
answer came there none.<br>
<br>
The fact is also (for a variety of reasons) that there are more
numbers in use in wpxloc.raw than there are ADIF / modern DXCC
numbers.<br>
<br>
Changing them on your node could be made to work, but you would
need to fiddle with all sorts of deeply buried code in (amongst
other things) Prefix.pm, create_prefix.pl and you would also place
yourself apart from Jim AD1C's excellent prefix updating service.
And then there is the necessity of revising the "history" of all
the existing spot files (which in my case go back to 1997), as
well as any filter specifications that users might have. Those are
all the places I can think of right now, but I guarantee that will
be a few others that will bite if you go down this road.<br>
<br>
The truth is that the numbers that DXSpider uses these days are
effectively internal. They have no causal relationship with any
other numbers, users do not have to use them, they can use
prefixes in all commands (like filters) that might ultimately use
those numbers internally.<br>
<br>
The best way forward is probably to generate a simple lookup table
to convert wpxloc.raw numbers to ADIF and use that to export stuff
- if that is what you are ultimately wanting to do. It is, after
all, just a simple %hash lookup in perl.<br>
