Libya - 5A is being treated as a DELETED Entity

[VE3NI]

Hello,

Running Log4OM 2.34.0.0 and I have noticed that it is treating Libya (5A) as being deleted.

I first noticed this when I received an alert for 5A1AL . . .

Also when you attempt to record a QSO . . . the country name is not populated and the country code is RED

I have the most current country file downloaded. Just to make it more interesting I checked with a couple of friends and they are seeing the same thing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks . . . Daniel VE3NI

It received deleted status from our source but i'm checking once again and eventually updating the country file for automatic updates

Our actual data source is Clublog. From Clublog we read the XML data provided in order to be able to identify the prefixes for each country.
As you know, prefixes vary during time, can be modified and implemented further.

For libya, the last prefix range is starting on 31/01/1952 and is reported ending on 31/12/2013,

while other countries (like italy, as example) have "end date null" in the last period.

That's the reason why Log4Om is reporting Libya as "expired country".

I've written to Clublog helpdesk some info about that.

Thanks for the update . . .

All the best for a healthy and safe 2025.
