I think that KG4xx should be either VI or PR a far at the ARRL
is concerned - and so I think TR-Log deals with them in this way.
So if you enter a section for the KG4xx it will work.
This is a very rare case so it has not be tested much.
I would think that Guantanamo Bay would be in an ARRL section and
could even enter SS etc - based on past ARRL patterens that
had the Canal Zone as a section.

TR-Log will log KG4xx as a Guantanamo Bay callsign - as it should.
Call in the format of KG4x or KG4xxx are USA callsigns are are
treated as such by TR-Log.
In a sense it is really (in the big picture) a non-issue since the
ARRL does not want you to send in logs for FD - only dupe sheets
so what or how you log the exchange is not critcal - even if it does
stop your run and confuse you for a bit.
