[CQ-Contest] Mulan DXC Worked All Chinese Provinces Contest 2012 Oct. 6, from 0000-2359 UTC.

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Apologies to everyone - I didn't realize that Les, G4OGB had written a 
User Defined Contest file to enable support of the WAPC contest.  If you 
are a non-BY/BV station you will need to download the file 
BY_WAPY_DX.udc from the User Defined Contests Files area on the N1MM web 
site and save it to the User Defined Contests folder in the N1MM Logger 
program directory.  Next, download the file BY_WAPC.sec from the same 
area into the N1MM Logger program directory proper, and finally, restart 
N1MM Logger and go to File > New Contest in Database and select 
BY_WAPC_DX.  If you are a BY/BV station, you'll need to download 
BY_WAPC_BY.udc instead.

In my quick tests, the UDC does not appear to display a list of province 
multiplers and does not appear to track them, so you may want to print 
out the list from the contest rules web site. Otherwise, you should be 
good to go.
