You must have an old dxcc.cty list as mine identified it correctly
and gave the correct 3 points. I am using the version which came with
10.15 (and being a DOS man that is the version I am stuck with!). I
guess you worked them on 40 as well! I only managed 20 and 15.
Somewhat bleary eyed this morning! Entered WPX as QRP and ended up
with 880 QSOs, 400 mults, 627k points. Great fun and no real problems
with SD (though the multiplier check window didn't always tell the
truth!).
