[RTTY] Makrothen contest

[Roger Cooke]

Hi.

 Just finished a 20 meter entry in the Makrothen, albeit not the full
time.

BAND    FSK
===============
80        0

However, a few points to note and wonder if anybody else noticed...

1  Callsigns did not highlight at all during the contest. Not a
problem, but
it is nice to have them highlight as it saves a lot of time. Is it
something
I should have done in set-up?

2  When a station sends something like this: G3xxx de W3xxx GM45-GM45
bk - I
click on the call and it enters in the log. Clicking on the FIRST G
puts the
whole string in the call window, and I could not get used to clicking
on that
second G for ages!!!  Even if the hyphen is left out the GM45 is then
transferred
into the call window. It HAS to be the second G in order for it to
work.

 I am using 10.50D by the way

The other very embarassing point: I came back to RTTY after having a
SSB sked and
accused a W9 of keying upside down; took me ages to decode his
response, only then
did I find out he was telling me that it was me that was keying upside
down. Hmmmm
this G3 thing is getting serious!

  Pleased with 8P2, VU2, VR2, HS1 and DU7.
