[CQ-Contest] TO4T & country file

[Dallas Carter]

The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that
their score has been increased rather than decreased as a
result of the UBN log checking process.  That is the process
that establishes what is a multiplier and where it gets counted.
The score listed on the cabrillo entry does not mean anything
as, as I understand it, scores are computed in the checking
process.
