For anyone running this kind of software from an always-on broadband internet connection (cable, DSL, ISDN, whatever), make absolutely sure you understand all of the security features that the softwa
The RTTY WPX contest allows packet spotting in ALL entry classes - but I see very few packet spots! If you're using WriteLog and don't know how to spot stations you work, it's easy: Just do a Ctrl-T
Sure would be nice if the super check partial feature (including the part that highlights calls in the RTTY window) would recognize and highlight the entire callsign of a station signing portable, ev
Sounds like a good idea and a quick and easy enhancement for WriteLog.. it'd be great if the spot window for an RTTY spot came up with "RTTY" already filled in. How about it, Wayne? -Marty NW0L marty
For any of you who aren't using Don's callsign file, I *highly* encourage you to grab it and use it! Super check partial is probably the most valuable feature in WriteLog for many contests, once you
The mostly likely problem for those of you using one of the SSB modes to receive RTTY signals is that the passband isn't centered correctly for tuning a RTTY signal when you have a narrow filter enga
The solution to this problem is to open the log file in WriteLog, then go to Contest | Parameter Setup... and make sure you select the button next to "W/VE" and then enter your state/province/whateve
Don't be a jackass, Gary. Just use some common sense and try to keep your postings at least somewhat related to WriteLog. And if you want to flame me, do it in a private e-mail, not on the reflector.
WriteLog could probably do better in this area - but so few US hams have callsigns related to their call area that it's almost a waste of time. It would be useful for the VEs however. Use the sound c
It's bad enough that they don't discuss RTTY on the RTTY reflector anymore; can't we PLEASE try to discuss WriteLog on this reflector? If you guys have a problem with the way the list is run, take it
I'm wondering what compelling reason there is to move to Windows XP? Especially for a ham shack computer?? (Heck, even some of the best-known columnists in various PC magazines have come out recommen
Go to the Writelog web site www.writelog.com - in the Downloads section, toward the bottom, is a file called "SBrdChk.EXE" Get that file and run it on the computer you want to use with WriteLog - it'
Enter all your contacts, don't worry about time. Then edit the first and last one to be the "correct" time. Select all contacts between first and last (click on first, scroll to bottom, shift+click o
Yeah, but they don't discuss RTTY over there anymore - only e-mail viruses... I finally gave up on the RTTY reflector today and unsubscribed after almost 3 years. It ceased providing useful informati
Normally you'd have your microphone connected to the PC, and the output of the PC going to your rig. This enables you to quickly and easily record on-the-fly messages for the various F-Keys. And it m
That's a function of your sound card and it's ability to support the proper switching and muting. Download the program SBrdChk.exe from the Writelog web site and run it on your PC to get a "report" o
Your computer is set up incorrectly. WriteLog uses the time zone and daylight savings time settings from Control Panel. Set them correctly and WriteLog will always know the proper UTC time.
No problems here. You can do better than sh/dx -- do sh/dx/100 to get the last 100 spots (or 200 or whatever.) When you restart WriteLog, you're going to have to re-establish your connection to the c
