[WriteLog] CQP QTH Problem

[Jerry Pixton]

All CQP,

Upon closer reading of the CQP rules I see why Ken asked the question. 
Stations not in the US or Canada are supposed to send their country as part 
of the exchange. So one does want to enter something besides a California 
county or a State or Canadian section in the QTH field.

When I open a new CQP for In-state, I see a wide QTH field in which I can 
type any alpha-numeric up to the size of the field.

Since these are not mulitpliers (just part of the exchange) there are no 
changes needed to namedmul.ini that I can see.
