[Cwo] WAE Serial Number

[Alan Maenchen]

Hi Pete,

Not only poor for credibility, but pretty much impossible to administer.
A real problem is that if the "other" log is not available for checking, the
exchange is pretty much assumed to be correct.
I, for one, don't know common names in Russian or Japanese, or ...
Is DOK real or bogus?

number and/or a made up name like prefecture, DOK, RDA) you get 1 point for
the QSO and 0 multiplier credit.

RDA uses serial numbers, so that was the easy part. The hard part was
getting a name from those guys.  Keyman uses RST and while I was willing to
log "599", I never did get them to give me a name. I even thought about
logging the JA prefecture as a name, but then thought that was pushing it
too far.
