Primary and Secondary Administrative Subdivision Codes

For most DXCC entities, DXKeeper's State item employs the codes defined by ADIF for Primary Administrative Subdivisions. For the following DXCC entities, however, DXKeeper uses codes different than ADIF's, performing translation during import and export operations to maintain ADIF compliance:

Entity Name Primary Code (ADIF) Primary Code (DXKeeper) Secondary Code (DXKeeper)
Franz Josef Land FJL AR AR-32
Lord Howe Is LH NSW  
Malyj Vysotskij MV LO LO-24
Macquarie Is MA TAS  
Minami Torishima MT 10 100007
Ogasawara O 10 100007

As shown in the above table, DXKeeper also defines Secondary Administrative Subdivision codes for several DXCC entities where ADIF does not define such codes.
