What, in the name of all that is good and holy, is the rush to get these new additions into the log? When ARRL has assigned them proper designations and entity identification, the additions can easily be made to ANY DXbase database.
Hell, I'm not getting into the massive pileups myself. I'll wait till the dust settles. This ain't no BS7 or P5 DXpedition material.

Your simple question would have been fine until you had to add the sarcasm about "why you have a logging program". Pretty cheap shot since the ARRL hasn't even assigned the rules/prefixes/designations yet. In any case, why don't you just log the darn contacts and put a note in the comments section so you can later make the change to the prefix field once the refdata entries are assigned.
