    Good afternoon Ed

            Well not sure just what was taking/happening  but started up

                Writelog hit Digiwrite and wow now NO Waterfall. Well

                  so I went from poor to worse...... OK time to get serious....

                I did a Restore on computer, well that reverted Writelog back

                    to 12.84c I think it was...... Decided to update WSJTX to 2.7.1 rc7

                  Went to writelog website updated to 12.85D again.

                            Disconnect everything ..... Reboot

                                 OK check WSJTX   all fine there........    Exit WSJTX  load

                        Writelog hit Digiwrite HMMmmnn  looks proper  Hit CQ on idle

                            watch writelog do it's thing for a while  all seems fine.... And

                        yep QSO with only signal report without Grid  - did score 1 point.

                            Still sequence number messing up like 3 number 35s  ....

                        skipping a number or two here and there....

                 Band summary seems to show proper totals ??  All in all I am good to go.

                Unfortunately because I did a few changes....... I don't know what

                    corrected my previous problems.

                I don't believe I will do a  serious effort in FT8 Challenge  but I will put

            in a fair amount of hours...FT8 not as much fun as RTTY  but sure beats SSB.

                        Enjoy all who check this test out.

                            73  and Good Morning from Alabama BoB WA1FCN

I've been running WL12.85 for 10 days using the FT Challenge module and have over 2,000 QSOs in the log.  All missing grid QSOs are scored as 1 point.  Dupes are scored zero.

Several others are also testing and no one has reported this.

There must be something different in your setup of WriteLog.

    Good Morning All

            Is the problem only at my end??   I have the newest Ver. of
writelog

\            12.85 D.......

                This info for FT8 chalenge this weekend !!

                In checking out how it performs I notice  Zero points

                in log for QSOs with no Grid.  My interpretations are
even with

            no Grid but just a signal report I should get one point.....

                Also and this is second contest that I have noticed a
different problem

            that I have never seen mentioned before.   My log will sequence

                    QSO number 99 ( pick any number) 2 maybe even 3
times.   It will skip                 one two or even 4 numbers
sometimes.  I seems like  toal QSOs reported at

                end of contest is correct tho.   I know contest
sponsors log checking

            software will find all errors but it would be nice if I knew my

                correct score before publication.

                        Any suggestions.comments appreciated.

            73 and  Good Afternoon from KM63 Alabama     BoB WA1FCN
