OK, FB Steve. Later on today I will download the latest NV QSO party
module and give it a try.
I still don't know why the reflector started rejecting my emails from
Outlook. I've been able to post OK for years, no problem using the
same signature block. I'm not using it now.
WL worked FB for the CQWWDX last weekend.

Hi Alan,
Your previous messages, including from yesterday were rejected:
List: WriteLog@contesting.com
From: k7acz@cox.net
Subject: Rejected emails.
Reason: Message body is too big: 43471 bytes with a limit of 40
KB
I think you mentioned in the past that you already discovered your
email signature was too large? That appears to be the case still ...
?
Onto the NVQP -- I previously posted that this was a bug in the NVQP
module in WriteLog and that I would fix it. In fact, I have fixed
this and it was sent out to the beta testers late last week. Its now
accepting those ARRL/RAC sections as it should.
Thanks,
Steve N9OH
