Hi Kris,

I think I have a way to find QSOs with deleted countries but it involves some 
work.  The following involves many steps but once you do a section once, 
repeating it for other prefixes should be faster.

Basically, you get a list of deleted DXCC countries that you have worked 
(Reports -> check "include deleted" -> OK).  Then for each deleted country 
(indicated by a D in the column with "D" in the heading) that you have worked, 
note each "prefix".  For EACH of those prefixes, do the following:
  1) While on the QSO screen
  2) Click Filter
  3) Click "Cancel filter"
  4) Hit F8
  5) Hit the TAB key (or click in the Prefix box)
  6) Enter a prefix you want to search for
  7) Hit Enter
  8) Click File
  9) Click Import/Export
 10) Click the highest DX4WIN format (Ex. DX4WIN8) listed
 11) Click File
 12) Click Export
 13) Enter a file name for the .DXQ/.DXN file to be created (I used the prefix 
with any slashes changed to dashes -- OK/D would have filename OK-D)
 14) Click SAVE
 15) Click YES when it prompts with "Filter active, use it for export?" 
 16) For each prefix you extract, note the count of how many QSOs were 
     exported.  This will help you verify counts later -- after you make a 
     log from all the exported files.
 17) Click OK (after the export is done)
 18) Click File
 19) Click Exit

Once you have created a export file (.DXQ/.DXN) for each of the deleted 
prefixes in your log:
 20) Click File
 21) Click NEW (create a NEW DX4WIN log file)
 22) Navigate to the directory where the Export files were created
 23) Specify the name of the log file that will contain all your exported data

For each prefix file that you exported above, do the following:
 24) Click File
 25) Click Import/Export
 26) Click the DX4WIN export version number that you used in step 3 above
 27) Click File (on "Import / Export Filters" screen)
 28) Click Import  
 29) Enter the export file name (Prefix?) that you used earlier
 30) Click Open
 31) On "Options for duplicate QSOs" screen, click OK
 32) Click OK (after the import summary)
 33) Click File
 34) Click Exit
     If you have more prefixes to Import, go to step 24

Once you have Imported all your Prefix files:
 35) Click File
 36) Click SAVE (to save this log to disk)
 37) Click File
 38) Click Info
     In theory, the "Nr QSOs" value should equal the sum of the Imported 
       QSOs counts in step 16 above


One caveat I am aware of (might be others that my test file didn't find),
I entered prefix of KZ5 which resulted in 60 QSOs.  However, only ONE of the 60 
QSOs actually had a prefix of KZ5 -- all the others had prefix of "K".  To 
catch this situation, I suggest after you do an "export" of a
prefix, verify that all selected QSOs have the "prefix" that you were after.

Sorry this was so long.  If anything doesn't make sense, contact me and
I'll see what I can do to make it clearer.

73,
