Precisely. If the program can figure out from the Country file which entity a given call is based on date, I'm not sure I understand why it can't be made to figure out whether a CW QSO is eligible for DXCC credit by just checking the date. I use precisely the workaround Kostas suggests now, and it's a real pain to keep getting those nice DXCC Summary reports that are completely accurate EXCEPT for CW. I've got lots of old CW QSOs in my log going back to around 1965, and some of them have already been credited for Mixed by ARRL. It's extremely awkward to have to filter the log every time I check my master DXCC status spreadsheet against my DX4WIN log. 73...
