This is a terrible error as it caused a lot of confusion all weekend long
and it probably caused me to lose many QSOs. I had many DX stations that
continuously called me and if I eventually worked them they kept asking for
my state. Many US stations asked if I was in the Virgin Islands because
their logging program (typically N1MM) said otherwise. A couple people
mentioned that they were going to delete the QSO thinking that I was not DX.
WP2 is a U.S. Virgin Island prefix and WP2AA has only been used in St Croix
VI by me.

The country file(s) were incorrect in causing WP2AA to be logged as
USA instead of USVI. I will be publishing updated files some time
Monday 3/6.
Cabrillo logs don't include multiplier information, so this should not
prevent you from submitting your log to ARRL. They prefer you use the
web submission form at:
