CQWW and MERGE Problems

[ieefc at msu.oscs.montana.edu]

I tried to merge the multiplier and run station logs with MERGE and
it complained bitterly about the mess and threw up its hands.   Then
MERGE386 seemed to work, at least it ran, but when I tried to
load the merged file into CT, CT crashes big time and I had to 
re-boot the computer.  CT version 8.42.   Seems like somebody else
was mentioning they had a problem.  Any fixes?

>How to get sections is SS?

I had clean sweeps in both '91 and '92 from NH operating lower power single,
but gave up a significant amount of Q's (read hundreds) spending hours on
the second day searching for missing sections. (The mug was more important
to me than the score!) Just calling "CQ" didn't do it. I had to go looking
for them.

Bob, N6TV, was concerned about Sweepstakes rule:

I interpret this rule to prohibit more than one transmitted signal 
on the air at any given time during the contest.

MERGE386 was broken.  There's a new version up on the CT BBS (I think it's
dated 11/5/93 - I don't remember).

This new version displays to the screen all the contacts that are duplicated
in the two logs.  If you get a screen full of stuff when you try to do the
merge, you know you have the right version.
