[RTTY] Submitting Score on 3830

[Gary AL9A]

Hi Dick,

I thought about doing that, but figued it wouldn't work!  Anyway I just 
discovered something interesting in WriteLog, my contest logging program. 
The Score summary window that tallies your score live during the contest 
showed the following totals:

QSO    QTC    DXCC
450        260        117
Score: 186,730

There is no column for Pts which is what the 3830 web page insists must be 
provided.

I just found if I go to Contest/Parameters in WL a window called "WAE RTTY 
Score Sheet" opens up and shows the following:

Valid QSOs:    450
Points              450
QTC'S            260
Multipliers       263
Score:            186730

Notice the QSO numbers agree, there is a new number for Points 450 here, the 
QTC numbers agree and a new "Multipliers" of 263 now shows.  I think the 
Multipliers number is what the 3830 page is looking for in Pts.  If you add 
450 QSO's + 260 QTC's = 710 X 263 Multipliers = 186,730.  The Multipliers 
number must include the weighted "bonus" points applied depending upon the 
band of the QSO.  The number is not broken down by band, but the total 
Multiplier number works for the calculation.

73,
Gary AL9A
