The callsign VK9DAC was used earlier this year from Christmas Island (VK9X).
If you already have it mapped to VK9X, It can't be changed to VK9L with the
dummy QSO method (you will receive an error message). The change can still
be made though by opening the Country Prefix database, Call Map tab and
changing the mapping for VK9DAC from VK9X to VK9L.

Subject: [dxbase] Heads-up on upcoming DXpedition as VK9DAC (ambiguous
prefix)
ALL:
Just a heads-up about a callsign that are in the AMBIGUOUS category for
Prefixes ...
//VK9DAC//
Just saw that the callsign VK9DAC from Lord Howe
Island (OC-005) during 14-20 October 2013.
This callsign will default to Norfolk Island (VK9N) because of the Alias
Map table mapping.
This callsign is not currently MAPPED in the CALLMAP table -- so, if you
want,
simply make a dummy QSO with this callsign and change the PREFIX column
of your logbook mdb file to VK9L and then when the pop-up asks you if you
want
to save this VK9DAC mapped to VK9L -- say YES/OK ---- Then delete that
dummy QSO ..
The CALLMAP table will now be updated in advance so that if you work this
station -- it will have the correct PREFIX in your logbook QSO window ...
