Just a quick comment before I head off to work.  I year or so ago I
spent some time working through some prefix issues as it relates to US
callsigns.  I was able to make some changes to the s/w to handle some of
the issues.  Counting the letters in a suffix, was not one of them.

I did resolve the problem that Lee pointed out regarding zones/USDB and
the fact that DXSpider does not pick up the zone overrides contained in
cty.dat.  For example:

sh/pre k0ok
K0OK City: Mission Viejo State: CA
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 6 CQ: 3 LL: 34 6 N 118 12 W (K0OK,
CA-California-LA-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 6 CQ: 3 LL: 37 35 N 122 30 W (K0OK,
CA-California-SF-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 6 CQ: 3 LL: 37 25 N 122 4 W (K0OK,
CA-California-MV-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 6 CQ: 3 LL: 38 42 N 121 28 W (K0OK,
CA-California-SACTO-W)

comes from my k1xx nodes, while:

sh/pre k0ok
K0OK DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 39 42 N 105 0 W (K0OK, Colorado-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 41 36 N 93 36 W (K0OK, Iowa-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 37 42 N 97 18 W (K0OK, Kansas-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 45 0 N 93 18 W (K0OK, Minnesota-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 39 6 N 94 36 W (K0OK, Missouri-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 41 18 N 95 54 W (K0OK, Nebraska-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 46 54 N 96 48 W (K0OK, North-Dakota-W)
     DXCC: 226 ITU: 7 CQ: 4 LL: 44 6 N 103 12 W (K0OK, South-Dakota-W)
     City: Mission Viejo State: CA

comes from Lee's node.
I can give this fix to Dirk if other's want it too.
