[Trlog] Never mind....

[Dale L Martin]

Never mind about the CW-SSB-CW business....that ain't crap compared to this:

In setting up for Fists Sprint today, I found my TRLog would not accept the
exchange:

RST SPC Name Num/Power.

I tried variations and nothing seemed to work

Then I just appended the name to the spc and that seemed to work just fine.

I would just separate them after the contest and calculate the score
manually.

I just looked at the .dat file....

Guess who's a checklog?

In spite of the logsheet window showing the correct and complete spc/name,
it apparently gets truncated by the program and put in the .dat file as
something else.

It's very interesting, too, that the order of the columns is different than
that of the description of the exchange and the way that most people were
sending their exchange (rst spc name num/pwr).

Oh well -- 4 hours shot to hell...
