[WriteLog] Logging and Cut Numbers

[Hill, Don]

I'm leaving all mine as received, if they send just "K", I'm
leaving it as "K".  Since I only made 650 Q's and was just
playing around, I don't care what they do to my score so I
will advise if I get KO'd for not putting a number in.

I had a few problems with WriteLog during the contest.  Most
have already been mentioned.  The Packet thing went crazy 
when I wasn't even in the shack.  Came back after watching
the Daytona 500 to find it beeping away with a blank screen
on the computer connected via Telnet to the Packetcluster.

I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of it, then when I brought it back,
it wouldn't work on the networked computer.  I ended up 
having to reboot both computers.  Rebooting once in a contest
is one too many for me.  But I had to reboot three different
times.  Before I comment on the other times I need to sit down
and figure out exactly what happened.  Which is going to be
hard to do, because both other problems occurred while I was
away from the shack.

So for now, I'm blaming the cat on the other two.

73, Don AA5AU

Tim,

I've changed "K" or "KW" to "1000", and the "NN" to "99"--never lost a QSO
in the checking process. Technically, the rules call for sending a three
digit number so you have to convert anything received to a number.  I'm not
sure what would happen if you left it "as received".
