Hi all,

Well, thanks for several ideas, BUT - none of them work.

Perhaps I should have emphasised that I run AFSK, and not FSK.
The only way I can get WL to Tx on RTTY is to run LSB.

Maybe this isn't as bad as it sounds, but it does mean that I will have to
re-learn a few things, and get the brain tuned in to the different sound. I
will also have to start tuning DOWN the bands!!!
As many of you have said, there is a VERY STEEP learning curve for WL, but I
guess I'll get the hang of it soon.

I will use my WF1B+MMTTY combo this weekend for the BARTG Sprint, as I don't
think I have learnt sufficient yet.

I suspect I will give it a try-out in the XE contest the week after that, as
that one isn't supported by WF1B anyway, and I doubt I will make too many
contacts, so it won't matter quite as much if I screw things up.

So, now I have to easy questions that I can't find answers to in the HELP
files, or on the various websites.
1    Why has my desktop been re-arranged, so that all the icons are lined up
nicely? This didn't happen before I loaded WL. Now, each time I start my PC,
all the icons are back on the left side of the screen, despite placing them
where I want them.

2    Is there a facility to record the screen data, similar to the .AIR file
of WF1B? This may be handy if I screw up big-time in the XE test!

Here's hopin'!
73 to all, and see you at the weekend!
