[Dxspider-support] Prefix lookup error

Sat Sep 23 01:21:26 BST 2023

Hi John,

It isn’t just M/ (England) as MM/ (Scotland) also comes-up as Germany. 

Interestingly MW/ MD/ MI/ MJ/ and MU/ (the other valid UK prefixes) all yield the correct country. 

M2/ and 2E/ wouldn’t be valid according to T/R 61-01, but they come up as England as well, as do 2W/ and 2M/ (which are also invalid as the UK has no reciprocal arrangements for Intermediate licenses).

Seems this is something to explore in the country files for additional anomalies. Something odd about M alone,You  needs a full prefix, and the #, where W/DL5aaa does not.
sh/pre 2e/dl5aaa yields England
sh/pre M/dl5aaa yields Germany
sh/pre M2/dl5aaa yields England
sh/pre W/dl5aaa yields USA

What does that callsign even mean? I am actually wondering why it didn't treat as coming from the UK.

Hi Dirk,

Just noticed today a little bug in the prefix lookup.

It showed up with M/DL2COM/P – which displays as federal republic of Germany

sh/prefix m/dl2com/p
M/DL2COM/P CC: 32 IZ: 28 CZ: 14 LL: 51 0 N 10 0 E JO51 (DL, Fed-Rep-of-Germany)
