Please correct me if I am wrong (and I may be) but I use CT. In CT it logs
the mult (state) the first time you log it on any band. But then if you work
them again on another band it does not count as a mult since you already
worked them on another band, and so the mult field remains blank.
If this is NOT correct then I have a lot of fixing to do.
As for DX, CT excepts only certain prefix indicators for each country.
Example, I worked a German station with a DJ prefix. But CT wouldn't except
DJ, only DL. Sorry I can't help you with the OKLA versus OK1 example. I
would suspect if you logged it as OK it would be treated as OKLA, but am not
sure.
