I had a chance to try out last Friday CT 9.39 in preparation
for WPX SSB at the end of the month. In particular I set up 4
Station M/M network to see how things worked. I found the
following somewhat odd behavior.
After entering 2 Q’s on 20M, then 2 Q’s on 10M, then 3 Q’s on
15M, then 2 Q’s on 10M here is what the display looked like:
1 20 TIME CALL SER#
2 20 TIME CALL SER#
3 10 TIME CALL SER#
2 10 TIME CALL SER#
5 15 TIME CALL SER#
2 15 TIME CALL SER#
3 15 TIME CALL SER#
8 10 TIME CALL SER#
4 10 TIME CALL SER#
5 10 “Waiting for the next 10M Callsign”
What CT looks like it is doing is as follows:
1.) When it logs a Q from a different Station/Band
than the previous QSO it displays
a QSO # that is the cumulative total of all Q’s
made across all bands.
2.) For subsequent Q’s from the same Station/Band, until
another Station/Band makes a QSO, it displays
the QSO # for just that band.
I am not sure which is the intent of the program but
my guess is that changing back and forth is not the design.
Note that from what I could see this is just a display issue.
The QSO line always displays the QSO number of the next
QSO for that band, as is needed in WPX M/M where each
band has its own serial number set. Also all the log files
look ok when doing a WRITELOG.
Anyone have any thoughts?
