Good point. I'll look into it. I forgot the rules actually state that.
Here is the Cabrillo 3.0 spec for NAQP and NA Sprint which is what log
checking is based on. Sometimes the log checkers have to edit the logs to
replace whatever is inserted in the QTH field (ex2) with 'DX' in order for
the log check software to work.
