[RTTY] WPX Contest

[Ted Huf]

I think the stations not picking up the /5 may be because AD0K and not
AD0K/5 is in AA5AU Don's SCP (Super Check Partial) file. It is still the
responsibility of the worked station to get your call right.  AD0K/5 is in
MASTERRTTY.DAT dated 1/19/08 so the stations may be using an earlier file.
Don gets the new calls for his file from RTTY contest logs sent to him.

Don,

I would think your call may have been AD0K in earlier contests and the
logging software is picking up the AD0K and thinks the /5 is bad data and
not part of the call. I have seen this many times in past contests.
The Friend File looks at the call put into the call field and checks to see
if there is name link to the call. It does not control what call is decoded
or sent during the exchange.

I noted that several operators refused to add the /5 to my callsign AD0K/5
despite several attempts for them to get it right. I am wondering if the
"friends" list on WriteLog might be the main culprit.
