I don't agree with you. I worked multiple KL7's and KH6's in the contest. The
first came up as KH6/KL7 respectively, others just as a no mult. (Okay, I had
to do a WH7K=KH6) They did not come up as states, as there wasn't a state in
the AR10.DAT file to begin with. I was using 9.53, which version were you using?
