A fix will be available soon. Actually, I have been requested by some of 
the adjudicators to put "DX" in the report field for non-NA stations, 
regardless of what was logged. TBH I don't like so much doing that way 
because you (in my opinion, the cabrillo log should reflect exactly what 
was logged): this is (IMHO) the best way to loose points because of a 
bug in the software (or an exotic callsign operating from a different 
QTH than its prefix would let assume).

BTW, I wonder if that bug is only for KL7 or for every non-NA stations 
which are not W or VE... A little birdie told me that all NA stations 
(but W/VE) are concerned!

Thanks for the good words. We have your "visible dupe sheet" request in 
mind but I think we will differ it to Win-Test v4.

Thanks and 73,
