All QSO's have been uploaded to LoTW and I am still trying appease the CQ Robot with my aa5vu.log file. The CQ Robot says there is something wrong with my format

I did not recognize the problem listed CQ Robot's  Message saying

  I do not recognize '' as a valid QTH.

until I received ww-rttya response from Susan, K5DU, pointing out "...In my cabrillo file each DX contact has the letters DX in the column where other QSOs have the state."  I then used a text editor to added a "DX" after each zone and the robot came back with a note saying my log has been accepted with Confirmation number.Thanks to K5DU!

This was not a fldigi error. I caused the problem by reading the rules about the DX exchange and only set up the macro to log the RST + Zone as the exchange. It never entered my mine to add a "0' or "DX" at the end of the statement.

There are no new rules. Just old rules some of us fail to remember and have to revisit
