Thanks Steve this tip really helped out. I could not figure out why NS would
not map to VE1 and WriteLog would put a "? in the ML field. A couple other
mappings that I found helpful to add were:
YT=VY1
NWT=VE8
These seem to be more commonly used on the air than the YK and NT
respectively that are in the current alias file. Think you might update this
in a future release?
Also, the score calculation shown on screen in the Band Summary and in the
Cabrillo does not include the 10 DX mults for those in the 7th area. A score
calculated in the Summary Sheet does.

Actually, W7CCY pointed out that other provinces do have aliases setup so I
must have forgotten to include NS. If you're running XP, you can edit this
file:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WriteLog\7qp.ini
Find the [7QP-Alias] section and add to the bottom:
NS=VE1
Thanks,
