[CQ-Contest] Copying exchanges in ARRL DX CW

[Barry]

First, the 2017 ARRL DX CW contest results are posted on the ARRL web site.

Next, it never ceases to amaze me how a) some people don't bother 
listening to the exchange and go with prefills, and b) some that do 
depend on prefills have a VERY out of date CTY file (in which my state 
is listed as an exception).

In the contest, I had just over 1700 QSOs.  70 (4%) got a QSO dinged for 
an incorrect QTH.  Some of the calls involved are regulars worked every 
year.

In 2017, I operated from VA,  remotely (sorry, EI5DI) using W4AAW's station.

Out of the 70 miscopies, states listed were as follows:
46 - CO (my home QTH since 2009)
15 - PA (my home QTH prior to 2009)
2 - VT (one dit off from VA)
2 - WA (one letter off from VA)
3 - UA (one dit off from VA, but not a state)
1 - NY (because a 2-land call?)
1 - MD (no explanation)
