The CHECK SECTION are for Sweepstakes exchanges.
In the Sweepstakes contest these data would look like
77Stx or 78Ore etc.

TR-Log knows how to do this for the Sweepstakes.

The ARRL Field Day exchange is the Catagory and Section.

You would be better of just getting the section only 
and then filling in the catagory - since the catagory 
is much more likely to change from year to year
than the section is for most stations.
