    CE0YHF/CE3 is stuck in Chile as Easter Island airport is closed but his DXCC is 47 saying he's in Easter Island.
    When making an alternate callsign like this is it possible for the user to set the DXCC or does that take QRZ admin action?

    DXCC corrected.

    This can be happened from time to time.

    Since the user cannot correct/change "DXCC" so I think the best way for the user is to submit a support ticket to HQ and ask them to make changes at https://ssl.qrz.com/support

    Thank you,

    The problem is that users don't know their DXCC is wrong when putting in a suffix call like he did.
    How is one to know?

    I did a test...putting the CE3 suffix on a secondary call correctly put in Chile for the country but my dxcc is still 291.
    I can see where allowing a user to change DXCC might make it too easy for faking call signs...so I guess a user has to request the change? Shouldn't that be some prompt or notice when adding a secondary callsign with a different country?
