Hi Dick,
I thought about doing that, but figued it wouldn't work! Anyway I just
discovered something interesting in WriteLog, my contest logging program.
The Score summary window that tallies your score live during the contest
showed the following totals:
QSO QTC DXCC
450 260 117
Score: 186,730
There is no column for Pts which is what the 3830 web page insists must be
provided.
I just found if I go to Contest/Parameters in WL a window called "WAE RTTY
Score Sheet" opens up and shows the following:
Valid QSOs: 450
Points 450
QTC'S 260
Multipliers 263
Score: 186730
Notice the QSO numbers agree, there is a new number for Points 450 here, the
QTC numbers agree and a new "Multipliers" of 263 now shows. I think the
Multipliers number is what the 3830 page is looking for in Pts. If you add
450 QSO's + 260 QTC's = 710 X 263 Multipliers = 186,730. The Multipliers
number must include the weighted "bonus" points applied depending upon the
band of the QSO. The number is not broken down by band, but the total
Multiplier number works for the calculation.
73,
Gary AL9A
