This would appear to be a problem with the DOM file. I am running into these
issues supporting the New England QSO Party. If you had logged him in Montcalm
and Monroe you would have seen a similar result. What I think is happening is
the long form of the multiplier is not recognized as the same mult it was
entered as. I will change the DOM and send it do you to try out please.
A good test of a DOM file is if you can rerun the contest with your log (TR
READ save_log.dat) and have the score and mults come out the same. What this
requires is that the 'long version' of the multiplier be interpreted the same
way as the official abbreviation. In Tom's example this does not happen.
STC becomes St Clair (" St Clair = STC" in the DOM file)
STJ becomes St Joseph (" St Joseph = STJ" in the DOM file)
When the program sees "St" it resolves that to "St Clair" in every case. I
personally don't like spaces in mult names. The DOM needs to be changed to
read:
StClair = STC
StJoseph = STJ.
In the case of Grand and Gratio, the DOM says:
Gratiot = GRA
Grand Traverse = GRT
The problem here is that GRA is always translated to Gratiot even when it
comes from "Grand Traverse". What needs to happen here is to add GRAN to the
Grand Traverse list and reverse the order the two are listed in the DOM.
Grand Traverse = GRT, GRAN
Gratiot = GRA.
A similar thing need to happen for Monroe and Montcalm.
