[WriteLog] Score calculation error with multi-licensed Writelog

[Scot Herrick]

>From my web site under WriteLog.ini settings...try this:

Changing Country (DXpedition) [Multiplier]

You're this great K9JY contester and go to VP2JY for an ARRL contest and all
those USA contacts all come up as zero points in the log. Here's how to
change that: in the [Multiplier] section of the WriteLog.ini file, enter or
edit the following:

CALLPREFIX=X  (where X is the call sign you are using in the contest. This
should be, with the 10.x versions of the program, be your call sign which is
then compared against the multiplier tables to correctly get you to the
right country).

Sounds like you are registered there with the ON call sign and you are
operating with the HB9 call sign. 

Once you place that in the WriteLog.ini file, reopen your contest. Then
click on Contest and Recalculate Score and you should be golden.

Hope this helps!

Scot, K9JY

Subject: [WriteLog] Score calculation error with multi-licensed Writelog

Hello,

About a year ago, I bought a copy of Writelog with a license for the calls
ON4BAA (home call) and HB9DWU.
So far, I have been using the software with my HB9DWU call. I have updated
up to version 10.47F June 2004.

On two occasions when contesting as HB9DWU, this weekend again in the SARTG
contest, I have discovered the following bug:

My score is calculated as if I were contesting from Belgium (ON) instead of
Switzerland (HB9).

In the SARTG contest, this means Writelog only counts 5 points for
ON-contacts and 10 points for HB9-contacts where it should be the other way
around.

A similar problem appeared during the VOLTA RTTY DX contest where no points
were calculated for my ON-contacts.

Therefore, I have to conclude that the problem must be in Writelog core and
not any 3rd -party contest module.
Of course, it might also be that I forgot configuring something, but where
then?

I would be very grateful, if someone could help me correcting this problem.
Please, send any answers also to serge at stroobandt.com Thanks!
