[WriteLog] Contest modules

[Clive Whelan]

Hi

OM Ray , G4FON who is a pro. C++ programmer, has been helping me 
construct a module for the forthcoming RSGB jubilee contest, 
using the Wizard.

The skeleton is working pretty well, i.e. it scores OK, and 
checks valid multipliers from the published RSGB list ( see Jan 
RadCom).

However the following need attention, and we are not sure how to 
proceed.

1. The Contest|Parameter Setup screen simply says " TODO" and  
does not allow e.g. entry of one's own country as I might have 
expected it to do. What is required here?


2. Possibly as a function of 1 above, the module allows me to 
work my own call area and credits with a multiplier. This is not 
allowed by the rules of course. How should this rule be 
addressed?


3. The module needs to be checked, by an ex Commonwealth 
station, to check that they are allowed only to work 
Commonwealth stations. However if I alter my callsign in 
writelog.ini to (say) DX1DX I simply am asked to enter my 
registration code afresh, which obviously will not work. Can 
this be addressed, or do I need to get an ex Commonwealth beta 
tester?


The RSGB president Bob/G3PJT will attend Dayton and will take 
with him ready made modules for the Jubilee Contest for TRlog ( 
by myself and others) and N1MM ( by N1MM and G4VXE). It would be 
nice to do this for WL as well, and would clearly be good 
publicity for the programme.


Therefore any help will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
