[NA-User] ARRL10 Mult File adding 32 Mexican States

[David Pruett]

Ted,

Modifying the mult file is only half (the easy half) of what is necessary to support the new 10M Contest rules.  The NA program itself must be modified to treat Mexico as a non-country (similar to US/VE) and rely on the exchanged data to define it's mult status.

I've already modified the mult file and am working on the program changes now.  This is a big deal trying to figure out how to implement the "one-of-a-kind" rule without breaking everything else.  We should have this all done and up on the web site by early next week.  Watch for an announcement here on this reflector.
