In fact, the current WT dvpt version is now fixed to accept any 
combination with at least *one* letter (wherever it is located), and is 
recorded "as is". In the WAG, the first letter found in the DOK *is* the 
mult (district), not the DOK itself ! Which is a bit tricky for the rest 
of the program, I must confess ! Thus, I'm relying on finding at least 
one letter in the DOK. Am I wrong ?

Quote from the rules found on the DARC site :

> The multiplier for Non-German stations is determined by the number of German districts worked on each band regardless of mode. The German district is indicated by the first letter of the DOK. From special DOKs (two or more letter/figure or figure/letter combinations) only the first letter counts.

Thus, any DOK with NO letter is rejected.

> Look for Club Call VK6ANC ZONE 29 in CQWW Multi Single or Multi 2.

Good luck !

As usual, some ops of the Win-Test team will operate from FY5KE.
