I'm happy to help in this area. I can always add these callsigns to the 
country file, however, I have to know what the offending callsigns 
are.  Tom's list is a good start. Then the log checkers have to use a 
RECENT country file for checking the logs.  K2G was removed on 25 February 
2003, well before the logs were scored.
