[WT-support] How do I get Win-Test to recognize the correct ARRL Sections for Field Day?

[MARK BAILEY]

Hi Bob:
 
Didn't think of that.  :-)  But, then, none of the sections from the Multipliers window will grey out.  People do like to look at that at 3:00AM.  :-)
 
I appreciate the prompt response and help!
 
73,

Mark
