[WT-support] Cabrillo Issue ?

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Yes, the term Exchange can be a bit confusing.  In the case of the  ARRL DX 
contest, the Exchange is your ARRL Section.  The log checkers need  to know 
this in order to award certificates in the Section from which the  stn 
operated.  In your case, this was ENY.
 
Any time the robot tells me that my Location is not correct, it reminds me  
to enter my Section.  At least, this is the case with an ARRL HF  contest.

Would  have expected "Exchange" to be the exchange sent since NY was the  
exchange, but ENY is the section. At least to me it was counter  
intuitive. Lesson learned ;-)

first enter your section on the Contest  Configuration screen in the Exchange

had the program create the  export files. When I looked at the Cabrillo 
file, it looked OK. I submitted  the log to the ARRL. The file said location 
unknown. Looked on line to see  what they wanted. I guessed it was looking for 
the state. Resubmitted the log  and got the same reply.

added the correct line: LOCATION:  ENY  It was looking for the section, not 
the state. It appears that  Win-Test does not add the Location line at all. I 
am not sure  why!
