There are two pieces of data in the CC11 packet:

1.  The location of the spotting station (EA3EVL).  The WPXLOC.RAW entry
for EA3 looks like this:

    EA3 B-GI-L-T-EA                                        34 37 14  -1.00
41 41  0 N   1 54  0 E

    Spain does not have nice neat names for their call areas, so the
Spanish provinices are abbreviated.  The equivalent would be:

    EA3 Barcelona-Girona-Lleida-Tarragona--EA

    The entity prefix is the EA at the end.

2.  The location of the spotted station (IN3FPJ).  Italy has a similar
problem to Spain, the Italian call areas do not have nice neat names.  The
WPXLOC.RAW entry for IN3 looks like this:

    IN3 Trentino-Alto-Adige-I                              85 28 15  -1.00
46 30  0 N  11 22  0 E

The names are not abbeviated here like they are for Spain.  Most Italian
prefixes refer to a single entity so abbreviating them is not as necessary
as it is for Spain.
