NA version 10.06 is now available on the LTA BBS.  This version 
repairs several issues raised since version 10.04 released 
in July:
 
-   When printing logs, the date would be a day or so off for 
    QSOs in late December of the year prior to a leap year.  
    Note: affects printing ONLY, the date data is CORRECT in 
    the QDF file.  This problem has been present in every NA 
    version since 6.00!  Fixed in NA 10.05, NAQSL 3.12 and 
    NAU 1.22.
 
-   Corrected the algorithm for calculating Minutes/Mult.
 
-   Fixed QTH MUST MATCH FOR DUPE feature which did not compare 
    the current to duped QTH correctly when the data was less 
    than four characters long.
 
-   Entering a frequency without a radio connected did not 
    change the default frequency for that band.  Affected 
    passing frequencies between computers in a NA Network, 
    particularly on VHF.
 
-   If program is started without packet, then packet is added 
    in the EQUIPMENT CONTROL PANEL, opening the packet window 
    with alt-o or alt-t would cause an error or crash.
 
-   Auto Call Check now uses length of entered text rather than 
    the cursor position to enter check.  Example: if you entered 
    three letters, then cursored to left edge of field and added 
    a letter, Auto Call Check would not re-check; now it will.
 
NEW FEATURE:
 
In Practice Mode, if a Callsign Database is loaded, calls will 
be picked from that database rather than randomly generated, 
providing for increased realism.
 
At the moment, the only remaining serious problem is a conflict 
between the use of Callsign Databases and the DVP which causes 
the program to crash.
We expect to have a version addressing this problem released 
by 9/12/96, which will take care of people operating the SSB 
Sprint.  
For VHF users, this version will also have a feature where you 
can manually adjust the center of the grid map (particularly 
useful for long haul 6M openings!).
 
Thanks for your help and feedback!
 
As always send problem reports to LTA@contesting.com.

K8CC and LTA
