[ham] RE: [WriteLog] WL and Check call

If you tap the space bar (or tab through the fields) twice, it will let you
know.  When you tap twice, you move to the zone entry field.  When it is
here it will tell you whether you have a new zone or not.


Try this:

Type in a call that is both a new country and a new zone.

Tap the space bar (or tab) once to move to the next field.  It will show
"New station, New Country".
Tap the space bar (or tab) a second time to put the curson in the zone
field, it will say "New station, New zone".

It does not give both at the same time.  I have just made a habit of tapping
twice while S&Ping to see if it is both a new country and a new zone.

In the Entry window, a new station and a new country will say 'New Station
New Country.' When it is just a new zone, it comes up as 'New Station New
Zone.'

You can try this. I'm in Zone 4 and entered a Zone 5 call from the US. It
gave the first message and gave me multipliers for both country and zone in
the log. Then I entered a Zone 4 station in the US. It gave me the second
message and only gave the multiplier credit.

In addition, when the station is good for a new country or multiplier, the
Check Call window will be blank for the band (vs. 'OK' when something has
been worked there).

But, WL won't ring any bells for a double mult.

Hope this helps.

We're readying for WW SSB- our crew has been using CT for years, and are
going to WL this year- everything looks great as we practice, but one
thing that concerns me is checking for a new zone. When you input and set
a call, it will tell you whether or not its a new station and
country. What is doesnt tell you is if its a new zone (the old CT guys
refer to it as a double mult)- Is there a .ini line that will tell you
about a new zone when it comes up? CT used a "#" sign for a double mult.
Alos, from drawing from the archive, it seems that there is some sort of
CT emulation- does this go beyond the F1 key (got that figured out already
tnx to the archives)?
