The space after the colon should be ignored, but to maintain consistency you are correct, Dave. Thanks...

Dave,
Perhaps, instead of using "Sverdlovsk <Pri: SV>" use "Sverdlovsk <Pri:SV>" instead.
I believe the 'finger gremlins' were at work after the colon and before the SV.

Subject: [dxlab] Sverdlovsk DXCC database error
This weekend's WAE contest provided a good opportunity to check on SpotCollector's ability to include Regions and Region Codes in Spot Database Entries; I was happy to stations from the Shetland Islands, Sicily, UN Vienna, Istanbul (European Turkey), Pantelleria Island, and Kosovo all correctly identified. However, I also noted that the entry for a station in Sverdlovsk (Asiatic Russia) did not contain a "primary administrative subdivision" code. This is the result of my error when adding these codes to DXCC database 2.2.7.
This error will be corrected in the next version of the DXCC database, but those chasing Russian Oblasts can immediately correct your DXCC database with the following procedure:
1. terminate DXKeeper and SpotCollector, if running
2. click the DXCC button on DXView's Main window; the "DXView DXCC Database" window will appear
3. in the "DXView DXCC Database" window's "Master Table" tab,
3a. in the spreadsheet-like display at the bottom of the tab, scroll down to the entry whose Entity Name is "Asiatic Russia" and whose Location is
SverdlovskSV>
and then click on this entry with your left mouse button
3b. in the Location textbox near the top of the tab, change
SverdlovskSV>
to
Sverdlovsk <Pri: SV>
3c. click the Save button
3d. click the ReTable button
4. close the "DXView DXCC Database" window
