Is it linked to the number 5 in my call sign, or is it referencing some database that has me last competing in the CQWW from zone 4? Or something else? Can I have it fixed somehow? Any suggestions?

I’m pretty sure it’s linked to having a 5-land call. There may be a list of exceptions in some CTY files, maybe. Not entirely sure.

One option is to change your callsign to match your zone. Of course, your callsign is like your identity, so the may be to drastic.

Or, you could move to Zone 4…. Naw, even more drastic.
