Bob & Bill:  I have been using Win-Test for many years after having used 
K1EA's CT since its introduction.  When I submitted my Cabrillo file for 
the 10Meter contest, the ARRL error scanning softwar reduced my Win-Test 
multiplier by two.  The ARRL acknowledge email had this note:

(one or more QTHs in the copied exchange not recognized)

I suspect that their error check software does not recognize the two 
Mexican states I worked but was counted by Win-Test and verified in a 
review of the Cabrillo file. 73 Pete W8TWA
