[SECC] Fwd: Re: [CQ-Contest] Software Versions to Support XE States in 10 Meter Contest

[John Laney]

For those of you who may find it helpful, here is a list of Mexican 
states and their abbreviations to use for the ARRL 10-Meter Contest this 
weekend.  If you don't get your logging program changed in time, you can 
just keep a list of the mults received from XE stations and add them to 
the Cabrillo file afterward.  If you want, you can recalculate the 
score.  But, no claimed score is required and you can simply add the 
mults received from XEs in the QSO line in the Cabrillo file and submit 
it to ARRL.  If your logging program insists on something being put in 
the mult info, you can put a zero, I think.  Since you would receive a 
serial number from an XE station in the past, I think you can put a 0 on 
that line and then change the Cabrillo file to show what county 
abbreviation was actually sent.  73, John, K4BAI.
