[WriteLog] CQP..WL anomalies

[W7TMT]

This info is of course "a day late" however, the
abbreviations were/are also available on the CQP Web site
here:

http://www.cqp.org/Counties-Abbreviations.html 

Nice list but I found the "Print Friendly" version (a PDF
file linked on that same page) to be the best option for my
own use. I printed them out to make the translation from the
spoken county names a little easier although some CA ops
were giving the abbreviation as part of their SSB exchange. 

The PDF file is here:

You do have access to the correct abbreviations by going to
contest and show multipliers.  I keep this window open
during contest.
