Hi Tim,
Thanks for your e-mail. The software is correct, HQ stations are only one point. You will find the complete rules here:

I finished this weekend's ARRL IARU contest with a handful of "HQ" stations near the end. Later I noticed that the points for the "HQ" stations contacted only reflect 1 point (in most cases) as if it was mistakenly considered a non DX contact.
It seems that the log entries that have correct points (example Rec 57 above) were the ones where I actually entered/saved the contact first with the default ITU number (by mistake). Then, I corrected the entry with the initials that the HQ station gave (Rec 57 ITUz corrected to "EDR" after it was saved as ITUz 18). Else, I entered most HQ stations with the initials given for ITUz (which then incorrectly assigned only one point)...
Question: Bug? Feature? and Do I just submit, knowing my Score Statistics are incorrect, but it will be calculated correctly apon UL/processing by ARRL...(?)
Should my work-around be to enter/save with default ITUz and go back (in real time) correct all these? - If my understanding is off on this, enlighten please.
Thank you Scott and all for the software!
I'm fairly new to this particular contest, it was a surprise to be able to contact more HQ stations (than last year) w/o crazy pileup...
PS - 5 days left to submit logs...
73, Tim KD6HOF
