[WriteLog] RTTY Sprint Problems with WL and MMTTY

[Brian Wruble]

Hi Guys:

I tried operating the RTTY Sprint last night, but I gave up after 15 QSOs.
Here is my setup:

1.  Writlog ver. 10.30B
2.  MMTTY ver. 1.62 ver. 1.62
3.  MMTTY Plug-in for Writelog ver. 1.3
4.  Writelog set up as per AA5AU's Writelog Website

I had two problems.  First, when I clicked on a highlighted callsign in the
Rttyrite window, only parts of it got transferred to the Writelog data entry
field.  I would use a macro to send "K1ABC de W3BW" and out would go
something like "BC de W3BW".  Then I had to manually go back and correct the
other station's callsign.  Also, about half the time, the callsigns were not
highlighted at all.

2.  More exasperating, Writelog was not crediting me with multipliers.  It
logged every state as worth "0", so my grand total was zero.  It counted
QSOs, but not multipliers.

In hopes of learning for the next time, I'd appreciate it if someone could
tell me what I was doing wrong.

One more thing, I couldn't figure out how to send something that wasn't in a
macro.  Where is the TX screen in Rttyrite?  Or is it somehow in MMTTY?

All operator error, I am sure.


Thanks for any help.
