Any W/VE entrants who worked TO6T at the weekend may have
missed Guadeloupe as a multiplier.

I update all SD's .CTY files from the master CTY.DAT
maintained by AD1C, but I missed TO6T in Guadeloupe during
the most recent update on 28th February.  

Here's what you can do to correct your log and get an
accurate Claimed Score.

Use Notepad to add TO6T to the Guadeloupe record in DXCC.CTY
in SD's folder.

Then re-start SD with your ARRL DX log, and go to each TO6T
QSO in turn.  The quickest way of finding the relevant QSO
number(s) is to type TO6T in the Callsign field and press F9
- then enter a QSO number and SD will take you there in Edit
mode.

Change the callsign to any other country, for example DL6T,
and press Enter.  Then change the callsign back to TO6T,
press Enter and SD will now recognise this as Guadeloupe,
and flag it as a multiplier if you have not logged an earlier
Guadeloupe QSO on that band (and will un-flag any later QSO
with Guadeloupe already flagged as a multiplier).

When you run SDCHECK again, your Claimed Score will be correct.
It's worth noting that Cabrillo logs contain no other scoring
information at QSO level, and your actual score is independently
calculated by ARRL from your log and their "master" copy of
CTY.DAT.
