[WriteLog] writelog problems?

[Randy Thompson, K5ZD]

I am sure DL2CC will give the full story, but I think they ran into two
problems.

- The WRTC rules did not allow the IARU dignataries to count for multipliers
so QSOs with stations such as R1 were scored as multipliers.  All of the
logging software packages had this problem.

- The Austrian HQ station used a different call on each band (OExXHQ) and
this seemed to confuse WL in some small way.

DL2CC and DL6FBL really did a great job in the contest and were very happy
with WriteLog after the contest finished.

Bernie W3UR in his daily dx wrote for the wrtc 2002 :
"At one point the Scoreboard reported the N6TJ and N6AA team as the winner,
however the TR logging program inflated their score.  The German team also
has some minor deductions due to their logging
program Writelog."
Anyone knows what problem there was in writelog?
