SD accepts any valid call - one with at least 3 characters and
a minimum of one letter and one number.
If the corresponding prefix is contained in CQWW.CTY, SD will
identify the country and zone, and flag multipliers as appropriate.
When using an older version of CQWW.CTY, SD may "miss" some
multipliers. This does not matter, as G3YMC described, because
CQ independently scores all Cabrillo logs against their "standard"
equivalent of CQWW.CTY. Cabrillo QSOs are not flagged as mults or
dupes - ever! That's why they all have to be scored by the
organisers.
To get SD to calculate your correct points and mult totals, add E7
to your copy of CQWW.CTY. Then, restart SD - go to the E7/DK6SZ
qso, delete the E7/ and press Enter. Then add E7/ to the callsign
and press Enter. It will now be recognised as Bosnia and flagged
as a mult. This may be done during or after the contest.sd-
The current CQWW.CTY file, distributed with SD V13.31, includes
E7.
