[WriteLog] [NCCC] ARRL unrecognized mult ??

Tue Feb 18 12:50:41 EST 2020

Actually, I submitted my log last night and noticed a similar error.
Writelog indicates that I have 191 dx multipliers, but the ARRL's log check
process only credited me for 188. It would result in a drop of about 5,000
pts. I'll have to follow up this evening and see if I can determine why.

'73,
Bob, KE3K
