I setup a temp wire antenna here in KH6 with a new computer and loaded
WL11.19D a few hours before IARU start. IARU went well for me despite the
lack of any 20 or 10 meter antenna. Much fun as i chased WRTC stations.

After the contest I created the Cabrillo file and sent it in. So far, so
good. Then I looked at the log and noticed for the first time that all the
NA stations were 3 points.  I'm in KH6 so I think they should be 5 points.
Obviously, this won't affect my standing in the results, but it would be
nice to have the score window show a correct score.

I assume the error is because a fresh install of WL assumes I'm in NA ???
 I didn't tell it otherwise and it didn't ask.

The only time I entered my zone and address was after the contest when I
generated the Cabrillo file. However, that did not change the points shown
in the log (WL, not the Cabrillo). What do I need to do to tell WL that I'm
not in NA?
