[WriteLog] Erratic Cw

[Garry Shapiro]

Would someone point me in the right direction on this one?

So far, I have "dabbled" with WL--a serious Sweepstakes effort, both modes,
and lesser participations in several other contests. In CW WPX, I
encountered a condition that I am sure is familiar to many of you, but was
new to me. In sending CW from the program, I frequently experienced delayed
characters, stretched-out characters, etc. In fact, I often sounded like a
total klutz. As I said, I don't recall experiencing this before.

The computer is a 550 MHz P3, 256 MB RAM, plenty of H/D space. I run Win 98
SE, and use LPT1 for CW, with the same cable and transistor switch I have
used for a decade with CT, without incident. I turned off every other
software program except AtomTime--which only updates upon request. (I need
to keep that one active because two identical ABIT motherboards have each
had wandering real-time clocks.)

Garry, NI6T
