Hi!
The contest is now over and I've found 3 problems with TR v5.63 :
1. SM1TDE was indicated as Libanon instead of Sweden. In the file cqww.cty
I've found SM1TDE/4U as Libanon but TR doesn't interpret it correctly. I've
just changed the 6 points in 2 points in the log.dat file.
2. T9/OI6XY was given T9 as prefix. It should be T90.
3. The WPX prefix report has problems with some prefixes and their respective
country. KG4W (USA, VA) as Guantanamo bay, PY0FF as Brazil and 4U1ITU as
Syria. I suppose TR take only the prefix to determine the country instead
of the whole callsign.
On 40m I had a problem when I put more than 600w power. There was some HF into
the cable between the PC and the TX's key input. I've just put a capacity
in serie in the cable and the problem is gone!
