You ought to see the mess writelog makes on a VHF contest with the
bands. The
frequencies are all screwed up with decimal places in the wrong place
and the
columns out of whack. I have to go and manually edit 700 + contacts with
a text
editor before submitting my log. Version 8 worked perfect, I have only
had this
problem since upgrading to version 9. Any ideas, thanks in advance.
