Just use NY. CQWW does not use ARRL sections which is what WNY is.

I'm getting a lot of offline responses indicating that I should use NY as my 
LOCATION. I operated as WB2COY/P, which is how (most) stations responded to 
my S&P calls. My Exchange was 599 05 NY, which is correct. The LOCATION 
field I am talking about is in the Cabrillo Header area:

START-OF-LOG: 3.0
LOCATION: WNY     <-- HERE
CALLSIGN: WB2COY/P
CLUB: None
CONTEST: CQ-WW-RTTY

I was operating from Western New York (WNY) from a campground for the 
contest. I think the robot is parsing my callsign's /P and thinking I 
operated from outside the USA! As a last resort, I will put DX in there and 
submit a CHECKLOG so that the stations that I worked will not lose credit 
for the contact. Hopefully, this will work.
