Hi Steve et All
I also had a problem with FKeys/Writelog during the CQWW RTTY.
My problem was that Writelog would hang (sometimes) while trying to send
the F8 Key and Enter with FKeys. [F8]<12>
Here is the Macro I use for F8 %R%C 599 4 IL IL %E
When I say it would hang, when I clicked on the FKeys button for this
macro sometimes it would just send the call then sit there and diddle,
until I clicked on the button again, then it would send the call and the
rest of the info in Macro then enter the call into the log.
I had never had this problem before and I never had it with any other
Macros. At the time of the contest I was using Writelog version 10.78k.
My OS is Win7 64bit.
I would have thought that if it were an RF problem it would have
affected other Macros besides this one.
