This is a deficiency in the callsign parsing routine that most loggers
use. Well, at least CT and TR do the same thing here, I suspect Writelog
does also. If they see a single-digit "portable", they substitute that for
the number in the callsign, before checking the country. I.e. NL7AU/4
becomes NL4AU. Since NL4AU isn't in the country file, the default is
Alaska, KL7. I'm not inclined to fix this by adding NL4AU into the country
file. Since almost everyone accepts Cabrillo nowadays, it doesn't affect
the real log score.
