[WriteLog] Question on location of a station

[Gary AL9A]

The BARTG Sprint rules say:  US stations must use correct call or suffix for 
their area of operation as this is used as a multiplier (if you don't like 
it, simple, don't enter).

Sounds pretty simple to me.  Those who logged WL7RV as AK got a mult that 
other stations, who missed him AND missed a actual AK station, didn't get. 
Their scores will potentially place them higher in the standings than those 
who did not get a real AK mult.  The intent of the BARTG organizers is to 
keep it fair.

73,
Gary AL9A
