[WriteLog] ARRL RU logs.

[Marty Tippin]

The solution to this problem is to open the log file in WriteLog, then go 
to Contest | Parameter Setup... and make sure you select the button next to 
"W/VE" and then enter your state/province/whatever in the "My QTH:" box.

The default setting (for some silly reason) is "Outside W/VE" - and when 
you generate your Cabrillo file, WriteLog will put the serial number in 
place of the QTH. This setting is completely independent of the box where 
you select your ARRL Section when creating the Cabrillo file -- the two are 
not related in any way.

Once you make this change, re-generate the Cabrillo file and you'll see the 
state/province being listed in the Cabrillo file.

As Eddie says, reviewing your Cabrillo file before submitting it would be 
prudent. The format is not at all difficult to understand - just take a 
look and see if it contains all the appropriate information for the sent 
and received information for each QSO as well as correct header info.
