[WriteLog] ARRL 160

[Paul C. Thompson]

Here is some information on the problem with the robot for the 160M contest 
from Scott N3FJP.

Hi All,

I received a response back from Sean Kutzko, ARRL Contest Branch Manager, 
regarding the problem with DX entries for the ARRL 160 contest.  Apparently 
they have been trying to fix the robot but are unable to.  Here is Sean's 
reply:

"DX" is going to have to be added to the Cabrillo file as a filler. I've 
been on the phone all morning with my superiors trying to get this fixed 
long-term. For now, though, make sure your users edit the Cabrillo file and 
add "DX" as a location for all DX QSOs they made.

You can open your Cabrillo file in Notepad, add DX to the DX contacts, 
resubmit your log and you will be all set.

If ARRL is unable to get this fixed long term as Sean indicates they are 
trying to do, you can be sure I'll certainly update the software accordingly 
in the next release.
