[ct-user] CT & WAE outside EU

[Axel.Schernikau]

Hello guys,

may be somebody of You can help (Jim, AD1C ... mails to Your address are 
not deliverable) ...

I'm not an avoid contester but having fun to take part and make a good 
number of interesting contacts. So p.e. in WW DX I'm always trying to 
make interesting and difficult contacts resulting in around 350-500 Qs 
in 40-44 hours.

Now I'm planning at least a good effort (mostly depends on local 
electrical and TVI conditions) in WAE CW where I wish to be QRV as 4K0CW 
from Azerbaijan. As it is only few weeks ago I thought I would now 
prepare a bit to choose the right logging software and check and analyze 
the needed functions.

At all there shouldn'r be any difficulty, as no Computer-TRX-Interface, 
no network, no cluster ot internet spots etc. will be used.

I'm used to log main contests (which are supported) by CT.
I'm having a laptop running Win2K, so I'm using CTWin from nearly the 
first time it was released (at least 1.5 years when I got off the old 
Win95-PC).

Currently I've installed the newest Version of CTWin 9.90.001.
So I tried how to handle the QTC-traffic will go .... and all starts ... 
may be it is the same bug as K1EA reported today in using new windows 
functions (?) with the move-left- and move-right-keys?

What I did:

I've entered 12 QSOs, than pressed ALT-L to come into the QTC-Mode, all 
fine ... the call of the last station and the first 10 QSOs are 
displayed with the hint "enter receiving station call and press Enter".

So I can hit Enter (if the call is correct) but can't find any key for 
further use to confirm that these QSOs were send (manually using the 
keyer). If I'm pressing ALT-L again I'm still getting the info that the 
current station hasn't received any QTCs.

Next problem:
If the station I worked is not the station I wish to give QTCs (e.g. 
someone asked for QTCs but already had a QSO this band) I can not 
override the call which is initially shown from my last QSO, I can only 
add letters at the beginning ... no keys left / right / del etc.

So I don't know if I'm just missing a few informations or this shows 
other bugs in current version and this one can't be used for WAE?
What version of program can be used properly for WAE CW from outside 
Europe? (and where do I find it?).
As I'm using Win2K it must be one of the CTWin-version or another 
logging program for Windows (as it will be for single-contest-activity 
it shouldn't be one of the "pay first"-"try after" programs).

Have a few weeks to prepare and to decide which logging software to use, 
but CT is the most familar to me for such matter.

Thanks in advance for any help.
