I can answer that.

It is hard to remember the few cases when you have to ask for something
that isn't included in the normal contest information.  This is just a
case we didn't remember.

Sure.  It is a simple matter of adding it to the program.

Well - we are cleaning up the issues as we go along, and hopefully, things 
will be "perfect" in the next year or so.

I think I can say this is the first time the robot has been used for the
IARU contest.  The robot is a great tool to make sure all of the information
is there before a human has looked at the log.  It is also less than creative,
and doesn't know that if you live in Arkansas, that your section is also
Arkansas.  Last year, a human probably figured that out for you.

Once the robots have gone through a cycle and trained the logging software,
this will all get worked out.
