[WriteLog] Field Day Problem with GOTA station dupe problem when on network.

[dr]

During Field Day a Novice station is allowed to work the same stations on all the bands as all the other stations at a given location.  This is because the Novice station uses a different callsign. The Writelog help file states that when networking the stations together, you need to designate the Novice station with the letter "N" when you register it to accept network connections.  Last Year, I noticed that this function no longer worked and reported on the reflector.  

Wayne made a much appreciated last ditch fix that appeared to bring the old "N" designator back to life to be used with the new GOTA station.

Unfortunately, the fix appears to be only a half fix.

What I have found is that with two stations networked together, one being the GOTA station designator "N" and a regular station designator "B" that there still exists a dupe problem.

What I found is that if the GOTA "N" station works a station first on a given band, that if the regular station "B" works that station on the same band later on it does not show as a dupe.  Wonderful!

However, if the regular station "B" works a station on a given band first, then if the GOTA station "N" works that station later on the same band it will incorrectly show as a dupe.  Not Good!

The GOTA station uses a different callsign from the other stations at a given location.

Wayne, is this hard to fix?  Can you once again do some magic to the fieldday.dll file?  Please...

The majority of you guys must not run a GOTA station networked to your other stations.

Thank You and Good Luck,
