This is something that changed in LoTW in the last 6 months or so.
After every import, I always search for Import: in the "Notes for this
QSO" field.  If I run across the situation described above, I simply
erase the State field in the QSO (and save it using F10) and all
returns to normal.

I hope Paul can fix this in a future version of DX4WIN, i.e. qualify
filling in the State field with the DXCC entity.
