[WriteLog] ARRL unrecognized mult ?? YES.. - solved

[k5zd at charter.net]

Couple of things.

The score reporting on log submission is new.  It has uncovered some issues.  These issues are all with the country file (TO4A was not recognized as a mult) and an arbitrary decision to only accept PEI (instead of PE).  You would get the same error if you submitted a log with FLA instead of FL.  The developer is aware of these and will correct them.

In the meantime, the log does get accepted and into the system.  The log checkers know all this stuff and will use more accurate country files and more forgiving section abbreviations.

This has really been a lot of confusion over two simple bugs.

Great job figuring this out Alessandro. I have submitted a number of ARRL DX logs from P40A and WP2AA and never had this occur, perhaps I was just lucky or the robot is more picky now. The Canadian postal  
code for Prince Edward Island is PE so I wonder why is PEI correct?   
Is there a way to force Writelog to only accept PEI for this section?

Prince Edward Island must be PEI.
PE is not recognized as a multiplier

     Hi Alan,

     I found exactly the same issue on my 900+ QSO log. ARRL does not recognize 4 multipliers out of 174 total.
     The problem is that the robot does not highlight where is the issue is or which are the wrong QTHs. I exported my log into excel and went through an in depth analysis in order to check for any inconsistency but could not find anything suspicious..

     Best 73
