It's not a bug. I'm running WL 10.60G here and I notice the same behavior
in the QTH field. However, it doesn't matter. The NAQP rules say the
exchange with a DX station is the operator name only, no country prefix is
needed in the QTH field for a DX station. The QTH field is alpha only to
accept US states and Canadian Provinces and does not expect a number. WL
will handle the country properly from the CALL field and award the proper
multiplier credit. Notice the multiplier count when you enter a VP5 and
then a VP9 station - each one is a separate multiplier. Likewise the
contest robot will properly score the various DX mults without any QTH info.
States and Provinces must be in the QTH field to score correctly as a mult.
