Yes. I've been having the same problem.

Yes, I do.

No, no, and no.

I had the same problem when I set up for the CQ WPX RTTY contest, and 
had a devil of a time getting something to work. In that contest, I 
finally disabled all the MMTTY stuff and used RTTYRite for the contest, 
IT worked fine. After the contest, I re-installed MMTTY and the MMTTY 
plug-in, and now IT works fine. Go figure.

Then the problem cropped up in CW this week when I started setting up 
for ARRL DX. In both of these cases I had opened the log from the same 
contest last year (with, presumably, the same settings), deleted all 
the contacts and saved it in a new folder. I finally got CW working 
after doing a lot of fiddling around with the settings, but I can't 
really tell you what fixed it. I'm still not sure how reliable it's 
going to be, but I'll wait until after the contest and then I think 
I'll do a complete re-install of WriteLog and see if that makes any 
difference.

I don't mean to steal the thread, but I saw the problem description and 
recognized the similarity with mine. Hopefully someone may have a 
suggestion that will help both Bob and me.

I'm using an FT1000MP and a RigBlaster.
