John,

WL will not figure out the Section multipliers for you from cluster spots.  
This is your responsibility, along with working the station, verifying the 
station's correct call sign and getting his Check and Serial Number.  All the 
cluster will provide you is a call sign (not necessarily correct) that has been 
posted by someone else and the approximate frequency of that station.
