Still a relatively simple solution. All that is needed is a data file
for all 50 States.
Such as "AZAKAL.............." Might have to re arrange the listing to
make sure no valid DX prefix exists or just check 2 letters at a time.
Then a simple program which compares ( for instance in Bill's
illustration ) the "JA"
to the list of State abbreviations. Even more simple if you include a
filter to check
the "2" in the field. If it's anything else, it's a country.
