[ct-user] CT v9.46 problems

[Ken Wolff]

ALT-F in an empty log is meaningless. There is no QSO to edit. The time of a
blank QSO is zero, Jan 1, 1970 in the time scheme CT uses. I could special
case this insert the current time, but to what purpose? There still is no
QSO to edit.

ALT-F on an empty  line assumes you wish to modify the prior QSO. This is
typical of CT behavior. For example, F9 or F10 on an empty line checks the
last real QSO.

In post-contest mode, ALT-F should always modify the current line. This
doesn't seem to work, and I will have to fix it.

Just done a short RSGB contest using CT v9.46.001; and would like to share a
few things:

1) - Y2K issue previously reported - We susseed ourselves, and then N3OC
told me that, if you do Alt-f on a new CT session, before any QSO's are
logged, you get the time as 0000z, date 01-Jan-1970.

However, as soon as you log the QSO, subsequent Alt-f's show the correct
date / Time. Don't know why it does what it does, but all seems ok.

2) - extension of above - I checked a QSO using Alt-f in the contest - it
effectively swapped the previously logged contact with the current line !
Uh ?? If you have qso in the current line, when you log it, it goes into the
previous line !

3)  My previous version of CT was CT9.36 - if you played with the CW
speedusing Alt - F9/F10, or went into Keyboard mode, the CW speed window +
the Keyboard mode window would be displayed. This does not now work; but you
can get it up by using Alt-v  (vary cw speed).  An observation.
