<DIV>Look at the PAQSO.MLT file for the PA QSO Party, which has DX as a mult.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The added line looks something like:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>DX Station: DX: A,B,C,D
.... 8,9:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>where those letters run A to Z, omitting K, N, and W, and then 1 through
9.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Compare the number of spaces, colons, etc. for correct syntax.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again, this concerns a rule change that affects only Ohio stations.</DIV>

pm<BR>Subject: [OhQP-mail] New OhQP Files For The NA Logging
Program<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>22 August 2012 <BR>New NA Files For Ohio QSO Party
<BR><BR>Beginning in 2012, the rules for the Ohio QSO Party were changed
for <BR>in-state (i.e., Ohio) stations only. In prior years, DX
stations (which <BR>send "DX" as their location abbreviation) had no
value as multipliers <BR>for the Ohio stations that worked them.
Beginning with the 2012 OhQP, <BR>"DX" now counts as a multiplier. Since
non-Ohio stations can only work <BR>Ohio stations in the contest, this
change only affects Ohio stations. <BR><BR>In order to properly support the
scoring for this new rule, the <BR>operation of the NA Logging Program
must be revised. QSOs with "DX" <BR>stations (which formerly
provided no multiplier credit) now need to be <BR>scored
appropriately. Fortunately, the NA program itself does not need
<BR>to be revised, but two of its support files for OhQP need to be updated:
<BR><BR>OHQSO1.CRT The Contest Rules Template File for
in-state (Ohio) <BR>stations in OhQP <BR>OHQSO.MLT
The Multiplier List File for in-state stations <BR><BR>Simply
download these files from the DATOM Engineering Home Page at
<BR>http://www.datomonline.com and copy them over the existing files on
your <BR>computer. These files will work with any NA 10 version,
as well as the <BR>free demo version on the OhQP web site. Again,
only stations operating <BR>from Ohio need these new files. <BR><BR>Good
luck in the 2012 Ohio QSO Party this weekend, August 25, 2012,
<BR>starting at 12:00 noon EDST. <BR><BR>73, <BR><BR>The DATOM Engineering
