Hello,
when filtering by "country of callsign" instead of "the callsign", I get "Monitoring European Russia" while I am in Asiatic Russia. I've compiled a list of about 20 callsigns in UA8/9 call area incorrectly mapped.
I have no way to tell pskreporter what DXCC country I am in.
I can only suggest Amateur Radio Country Files or Russian callsigns with single digits 8 & 9 - European Russia or Asiatic Russia?.

Hmm. I use the data from 

http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.csv

and update it weekly.

Do you have some examples of incorrect callsigns?

Mike knows exactly what country he is in. He is in the Russian Federation.  There is no border between European Russia and Asiatic Russia because these entities were invented by the ARRL. It's about time that the Russian Federal Districts were treated in the same way as the components of the United Kingdom and the ex countries of the Soviet Union.

EURUS (they are all ASRUS):
RF9C R8CA UA9CKP RK9AX R9WCK RA9AAA RA9AJL RX9WN
UA9SIX R9SDB RW9WT R9CS RX9DJ UA9CJM RA9AMO UA9AJK
RN9CA RU9CK UA9CAW R9WXK

ASRUS (they are EURUS):
RA9XX RA9FF

And, strange enough:
UA0AA is EURUS but UA0AAA is ASRUS

Dear Philip or other moderator

I hope you have translated Salvatore Gentile's hate message for yourself  and taken appropriate action with the list.

After some more investigation,

Looks like there is something that plays
an even bigger role than cty.csv.

Country files normally don't deal with suffixes,
ie. UA0A, UA0AA, UA0AAA and UA0AAAA are all in the
same entity according to cty file.

In pskreporter, it's different.
UA0A AsRus
UA0AA EuRus
UA0AAA AsRus
UA0AAAA Undefined

Another example:
RA9V EuRus
RA9VA AsRus
RA9VAA Undefined

Not only all 4-letter suffixes are undefined country
(these are used in UA,UA9,VK maybe somewhere else),
but some 2- and 3-letter suffixes are also undefined,
like RO9CC, RO9AA, RZ9OOO.
I'm talking about regular calls, the above examples
are all valid calls according to russian telecom
authorities, some of them are to be issued.
