[WT-support] WT 3.13.0 ARRL FD Sections

[Paul Cassel]

Item 5 in the rules found at
http://www.remote.arrl.org/contests/rules/2007/fd.html state

5. Exchange: Stations in ARRL / RAC sections will exchange their Field Day
operating Class and ARRL / RAC section. Example: a three transmitter class A
station in Connecticut which also has a GOTA station and the extra VHF
station would send "3A CT" on CW or "3 Alpha Connecticut" on Phone. DX
stations send operating class and the term DX (i.e. 2A DX).

The ARRL/RAC Sections can be found here

Hope this helps
