Archie,
I experienced the same problem. Here is what I discovered....
When I started up WL to run the 160m contest, I had actually selected the
10m contest - poor mousing technique (Note that these two contests are
next to each other in the list).
I went merrily along but observed the "Reg B" and same symptoms as you
described. I just ignored it and kept going.
It wasn't until I submitted the Cabrillo log that the ARRL ROBOT rejected
and reported back that this didn't look like a 10-meter log... That's
right "10-Meters". Then I looked at the Cabrillo file header and observed
that it indicated I was logging the 10-meter contest.
So I changed that and whatever else needed changing and submitted to arrl
again.
No problem this time.
So.... you may have done the same thing... started up a 10m contest when
you mean to start up the 160m contest.
This brings up something I wish could be implemented (or fixed). When WL
is running, I wish I know what contest format its was actually logging.
Perhaps the contest name could appear in a margin somewhere.

Subject: [WriteLog] "B" Problem
Guys, any help with a couple of problems?
My WriteLog program now and then during a contest puts a red B beside a
contact. I know it means "out of band" or some other band problem.
However, in those contacts, I am well inside the band, calling CQ and
the stations before and after are logged properly. I right click on the
red B, then click on Count The QSO As Valid, etc but when I leave the
program and then return the old red B is right there.
Second problem: A couple of my contacts came up with a ? in the prefix
column and were not included in the total. For example, I only worked
one West Coast station, in EWA, and it was not counted and there is a ?
in the prefix column. Efforts by me to eliminate the question mark and
replace it with a one were not successful.
