[RTTY] WB2COY/P Operation = DX?

[Ed Muns]

First of all, don't put /P or /M or /QRP, etc. on your call sign, at least
in the CQ WW RTTY Contest.  The / designator is reserved for indicating a
different DXCC entity prefix than your base call sign.  That is why the
robot software is confused as it tries to interpret /P as some non-US
entity.  Thus, the robot's instruction to put 'DX' in the Cabrillo header's
LOCATION: line.  The entry for LOCATION: should be your ARRL/RAC section
abbreviation, apparently WNY in your case.

If you can't get your log submitted, just send it directly to me and I'll
deal with it.

Hello all - I operated 'portable' WB2COY/P from an RV Park in WNY in the 
CQWW DX contest, making 208 contacts. When I attempted to submit my log 
via the online interface, the robot told me that my LOCATION: WNY  was 
wrong, and that it should be DX! Any suggestions on how to get around 
this? I only have two days left to get the log submitted!
