The location field is used by the log checking software to determine the USA/Canada call area where your score will be listed. Your location name is specified in the header of the Cabrillo file.
LOCATION: text 
		USA State or ARRL Section where you operated from.  
		Entries from within USA/Canada must enter a LOCATION abbreviation from 
		the list below. Entries outside the USA/Canada enter DX.
[Note: Cabrillo version 2 uses ARRL-SECTION: instead of LOCATION:. The robot will accept either one.]
Below is a list of location names used by the log submission robot. If you have received a message from the robot, please check that you have the LOCATION: line in your Cabrillo file and it has one of the entries from location column below.
