Arpad,

Thanks for the link to your screen shot.  I think the problem is you have 
specified your QTH as 'DX' when it should be your country abbreviation.  I 
operated this contest from Alaska, which for the CQWW contests is not a 
State, but a DX country.  In the parameter window I entered my QTH as 'AK'. 
Try entering 'YT' or 'YU' for your QTH instead of 'DX' and then recalculate 
the score.  I think all your '?' symbols will then disappear - and your 
score should improve a lot!

73,
Gary AL9A
