Serge,
Take a look at your WriteLog.ini file. There should be an entry something like:


[Multipliers]
CallPrefix=W1ZT

That should reflect either your HB9 or ON4 location. It does control scoring multipliers and may be what was used for the modules you mention.

The other parameter setup location is in the program menu line:

Contest / Parameter Setup

This last item is not needed for all contests but should be checked when any contest is set up to make sure the program gets proper information.

Hello,

About a year ago, I bought a copy of Writelog with a license for the calls ON4BAA (home call) and HB9DWU.
So far, I have been using the software with my HB9DWU call. I have updated up to version 10.47F June 2004.


On two occasions when contesting as HB9DWU, this weekend again in the SARTG contest, I have discovered the following bug:

My score is calculated as if I were contesting from Belgium (ON) instead of Switzerland (HB9).

In the SARTG contest, this means Writelog only counts 5 points for ON-contacts and 10 points for HB9-contacts where it should be the other way around.

A similar problem appeared during the VOLTA RTTY DX contest where no points were calculated for my ON-contacts.

Therefore, I have to conclude that the problem must be in Writelog core and not any 3rd -party contest module.
Of course, it might also be that I forgot configuring something, but where then?


I would be very grateful, if someone could help me correcting this problem.
Please, send any answers also to serge@stroobandt.com Thanks!
