Barry,
There are several who use a general logging program and are tied to a
database such as QRZ to fill the fields. In the NAQP's they end up
with loosing credit for many of their Q's since the name sent rarely
matches the database. I suspect you are seeing some of this.
Don't have a good answer on how to stop this as most of those
individuals are not on this list.

In recent years, after reviewing my ARRL DX contest LCRs, I note that
1-5% of stations worked lose a QSO because they "copy" the wrong
state
for me. They incorrectly enter PA, where I used to live and operate
for many years, but have not operated from there in 10 years. Where
they get that info is baffling. Old log history files? An old CTY
file
that had me listed as an exception in PA, as I have a 2-call?
This year will be even more interesting to see the LCR. This year, I
will be operating from VA. Not my old QTH, PA, and not my current QTH
of almost 10 years, CO. Please copy what is sent!

Barry I have not been in CT since 1987, 5-6 guys each year have that
as my
state. Others still have ENY or even SC along the way. I have been
back in
NTX/TX since 2000. It's obvious they have very only check files (LCR)
and
don't know that they have to update them. I ignore what the LCR shows
and
go with what I hear.
