Hello,
Let me jump into this briar patch: Entering an abbreviation for a NA DX
station seems to me as a meaningless thing to do. For instance I know
XE1XX is an XE station. Why should I have to enter XE or even XE1XX have
to send XE. It's meaningless as far as my correctly copying the exchange.
Suggest dropping the requirement for entering a NA DX station's DX
abbreviation or count the provinces/states of the other NA DX countries as
multipliers. If the latter suggestion is adopted, then for the places that
are a single jurisdiction you're back to the same situation as you have now.
Strongly suggest dropping any requirement to enter the abbreviation/country
name for a NA DX station.
