Rick,
With all due respect to the programmers of N1MM+, this has been a
monumental and wonderful effort by a dedicated team, but it still is a
work in progress.
With regard to the status of N1MM+ time handling, and the BARTG
contest programming in particular, this year:
1) What happened to the value saved for TIME2, if the user 'corrected'
any partial/incomplete/incorrect call already entered in the entry
field, using the keyboard to either add extra characters, delete extra
characters, or retype the call entirely, anytime during the QSO,
before the TU or TU AND NOW exchange?
OR
2) What happened to the original TIME2 value, if the user 'fixed' a
current but incorrect callsign, already showing inside the Entry
window, by double-clicking on the 'correct' call being displayed in
any DI window at anytime during the QSO before the TU or TU AND NOW
exchange?
Was the 'stored'/Reported' Time2 value still the 'original' one, or
did it get 'updated' due to 'retyping', or 'double-clicking' during
the middle of the QSO?. What time showed in the 'log page' or the
Cabrillo report? Were they the same value?
With regard to 1 and 2, to the best of my recollection the time value in
the log window was cleared and had to be reentered. In that case I think
the Time2 value was reset. Sorry I didn't keep detailed notes but this
was enough of a issue to cause me to remember it. This would seem to
allow a condition where the time could be off by a minute from that
originally sent.
Thanks again to Rick, Tom and crew for their efforts.
