Hello all!

The recent WPX RTTY contest was only my second contest using Writelog.
I noticed two peculiarities and have no explanation for them.

1) The Writelog Summary has a column for "Rest periods (Single Operator
   Stations Only)" Except for the word "to" nothing shows here. I did
   set in Writelog-EDIT-Times on/off-Edit Time OFF-Calculated-Add All
   so these times show under "Enter These in Log" and OKed it. I wonder
   where Writlog puts these times when clicking "Create reports" and
   "Create summary.." ???
2) My primary RTTY TNC is a PTC-II. It is connected to the PC via the
   onboard COM2 at 19200Bd. There are NO IRQ or EA address conflicts
   reported by Windows XP Home. CPU speed is 2.3 GHz, 512MB of RAM.
   The FT1000MP is keyed with FSK signals generated by the PTC-II.
   That's what I use with Writelog. Parallel to this I have MMTTY running
   with the onboard soundsystem. Gives me a great tuning indicator and - most
   important "dual" receive capability. Norton Internet Security and Norton
   AntiVirus are deactivated.
   Now for the first time ever I noticed the following: Without any indication
   why, the receive print in the RTTYRITE window was slowed down by several
   seconds, hampering fast operation. I had to key in what was shown without
any
   delay by MMTTY. This happened a total of three times. Each time I was doing
   Auto-CQ and fairly busy working the stations that called me. To cure this
   problem, I had to close Writelog AND turn the PTC-II OFF (and on again).
   Were there similar experiences by others? What may be the cause?
