Your way will probably work, but note that the robot asked for  
LOCATION:, followed by pointing you to the location of a list of valid  
ARRL Section abbreviations. I corrected my entry by adding the  
LOCATION: tag with my section (OH) and the robot happily took it.

Actually, your location should have been "MN". I entered "Ohio" in  
mine. Maybe that was our problem?

Less than a minute with a text editor and all is well.

No harm, no foul.
