Peg,

You can simply enter the CQ zone for DX stations and NA will score 
correctly.  Because of the wide variation of what people might log in 
the location field, NA has never tried to interpret a country 
name/prefix entered there.  NA interprets the country from the callsign 
of the QSO instead.

We do have is a new version which we'll get up onto the web site 
tomorrow evening which will automatically fill in the CQ zone for 
non-domestic stations.  But this is simply operator convenience - 
nothing changes in how the contest is scored.

Check the web site http://www.datomonline.com tomorrow (Thursday) evening.
