[WriteLog] CQ WPX SSB contest

[Mike Eagen]

Ed,

Thanks.  The "NC" question is now solved by using the pull down instead
of entering "NC".

If the contest sponsor doesn't support the "category-overlay", then
perhaps it should be deleted from the CQ WPX contest Cabrillo format
altogether?
73,

de Mike, K0RRP

On the location, "NC" should have been selected from the pull-down menu
with
ARRL sections.  Is that where you entered it?  If not, then WriteLog
won't
created the LOCATION: NC line in the Cabrillo header.

On the "over 50" category, the robot rejects it because is not supported
by
the contest.  The robot is simply screening format problems on the log
so
that you can correct them and re-submit.
