[CQ-Contest] CQWW Logging Question

[k7qq at juno.com]

Quacks
One of the problems I've found is with the short call, in State Q parties
is trying to log  K4OJ/BREV   the logging program won't take this, I've
found a way around this but all of the  /p/qrp/xyz /6 /7 etc. doesn't
make my SS log . It isn't even required by SS to log wl7e/w7  or kh8ac/1 
.
