Don't be too sure about the robot's ability or facility to be trained, Pete.
I asked ARRL why my log gets busted back occasionally when I type my club
affiliation as something like:
"Central Texas DX & Contest Club"
It seems the robot doesn't/cannot recognize that as what it wants to see:
"Central Texas DX and Contest Club"
Pity that for all the capabilities and work the robot does, it cannot do a
simple, mundane task like recognize a small variation in a club name. I
thought that was what software programming was all about: make the robot
'smart'.
Interestingly, the CTDXCC website is titled "Central Texas DX & Contest
Club", but the ARRL Club list has "Central Texas DX and Contest Club".
