[RTTY] how can I log OL6X for the sprint?

[Ed Muns]

I think the rules are fine.  In the RTTY Sprint log checking last night,
either 'OK' or 'DX' were handled correctly for OL6X.  The log check software
is not confused about the 'OK' QTH because it has the call sign prefix from
the cty.dat file.  So, if there is an issue with logging the QSO, I guess
that needs to be taken up with the logging software author(s).
