I agree on the KL7 in the 48 should have a call that reflects it's DXCC
country. I hated when the FCC changed the rules even about districts.
If I WB9SBD had moved to Minnesota, in the past if available I would end
up being WB0SBD and if not available some other zero call sign.
I hate it now that a 9 lander can be in florida, or california or any
other place for that matter even Alaska.
That sucks to me.

When is a country also a state?... in KL7. A guy with a KL7 call sign can
move to Kansas and legally use that call sign there, his being in America
in both instances. However, due to backward DXCC admin, when does he count
as Alaska, and as an entity? When Alaska became a state, it should have
lost its DXCC entity status. OR, make all KL7s get a lower 48 call sign to
live in the lower 48.
Same problem if KP4 became a US state........... Hey change is a
constant. Ch

This question has come up several times so I will answer it here.
You should log the call sign as sent.
The log checking software will handle placing the call in the right country
(or judging if the call sign is not correct).
True, your logging software doesn't seem to count your score correctly, but
that is not a factor for the contest committee since the Cabrillo format
doesn't mark multipliers. As mentioned above, we will recalculate the
score
of all logs submitted.
As I said in the webinar. Put your log in Cabrillo format and send it in.

Hi all,
hi contest committee , Randy,
sorry if this has been asked before.
I worked KL7HM who is in Arizona, zone 3.
He was sending out "KL7HM" as callsign, and Win-Test recorded this as
Alaska, with a probable mistake on the zone side.
Am I allowed to put him in the log as KL7HM/K7?
Or would that eliminate the validity of the QSO or make it unique?
Thanks
Frank
