[WriteLog] Writelog.ini File

[jebrown]

I set up for the Ukraniun RTTY contest, and all worked fine.

I then set up for the SS CW, and all worked fine.

When going back to the Ukraniun contest, Writelog would not communicate with the KAM.  The settings in SETUP PORTS looked OK, and the settings in the RTTYWRITE window looked OK.  

After wrestling with this for a while, I checked the Writelog.ini file and discovered that COM Ports 1 and 2 had disappeared from the PORTS section.  These are the ports used for the rig and TNC (or keying in CW).  However, COM ports 3 and 4 were there.  I don't use ports 3 and 4.

I added ports 1 and 2 to the file, and all worked well again.

Just to see what would happen, I repeated the CW SS setup.  Again, ports 1 and 2 disappeared from the .ini file, and RTTY would not work.  I had to add them back again.

What's happening here, and what is the cure?

Thanks
