[ILQSO] Logs with incorrect location in the QSO exchange...

[mnowack]

We have received a number of Cabrillo files this year for entry in the 2013
ILQP from Illinois based stations with an incorrect location indicator in
the 'Exchange Sent' portion of each QSO record.  In each case 'IL' was shown
as the location, i.e. 599 IL .  This of course is not a correct exchange for
an Illinois based station to give in the ILQP.

I believe this is a problem caused by the incorrect location information
being stored in the station setup file for the logging program being used.
Please verify that the exchange information in the Cabrillo file you send
for entry in the ILQP is consistent with the actual operating location in
the QSO party.  Logs sent with obviously incorrect location information in
the QSO records will be returned for correction.  

Please note we are just more than a week away from the entry deadline of
November 20.

 

Thanks, Mike NA9Q
