[TRLog] Resending RST after contact is logged?

[Dave Ek]

Jack,  put "W" at the end of the power. That makes TR think its power and it
logs it and scores it correctly.

- -- K7RAT sends me "569 OR 5"  (RST STATE POWER - because he's not an ARCI
member and is using 5 watts).  Unfortunately the program interprets this as
his ARCI number is 569 and my report is 559 and logs this info.

- -- If K7RAT send me "5 OR 569" and I log it that way then the program
interprets it correctly and logs my signal report as 569 and his power as 5
watts.

- -- If K7RAT sends me "569 OR 7070" then it again interprets things
correctly
that 569 is the signal report and 7070 is his ARCI number.

- -- If K7RAT sends me "569 OR 100" then it incorrectly thinks my report
from
him is 100 and the ARCI number is 569.

- -- If K7RAT send  me "599 OR 5" and I don't log the 599 and just put "OR
5"
in the window it won't accept it.  Hitting enter gets no response.

- -- If K7RAT sends me "599 OR 7070" and I don't log the 599 and just put
"OR
7070" in the window it does things right and give me a signal report of 599
and logs 7070 as K7RAT's ARCI number.

While the ARCI contest isn't a big rate fest and these problems will be easy
enough to work around I thought I would mention them to see if I was doing
something wrong or if the program might be tweaked in the future to figure
this stuff out.

The biggest problem in ARCI contests isn't software - it's sorting through
pileups of stations with signal strengths of 2 and 3.  The occasional 569
station is a huge relief!

Thanks and 73!
