Serge,
Take a look at your WriteLog.ini file.  There should be an entry something 
like:

[Multipliers]
CallPrefix=W1ZT

That should reflect either your HB9 or ON4 location.  It does control 
scoring multipliers and may be what was used for the modules you mention.

The other parameter setup location is in the program menu line:

Contest / Parameter Setup

This last item is not needed for all contests but should be checked when 
any contest is set up to make sure the program gets proper information.
73, George .. W1ZT
