[WriteLog] Wrong QTH

[Jerry Pixton]

Tom, et al,

There in lies one of the big problems that makes the named multipliers 
files so hard to keep straight. So many of our contests treat Canada in 
different ways such that you have 8, 9, 13 or 14 multipliers. And some of 
them say two different things in their rules, or their rules say one thing 
but the contest committees intent is something else. The US has the same 
problem in the way we treat DC, AK and HI.

So NL is the correct code when a contest calls for the province of 
Newfoundland and Labrador. But unfortunately when they are broken apart 
into NF and LB for mulitpliers you can't put in NL as an alias because it 
can point to two places. UGH
