[WriteLog] Re: Band change timer function

[Ron Lodewyck]

We have a very similar M/S setup at NN6NN and have encountered the same 
difficulty with the band change counter.  I believe you can get the band 
change counter to work correctly if you specify every computer as the 
"Run" computer.  I haven't had time to test this in a contest yet, but 
SEEMS to work ok so far.

IMHO there should be a single counter - not an A counter and a B 
counter.  All the log checkers are looking at is the number of times the 
band changes IN THE LOG during any clock hour.  It is irrelevant how 
many band changes the A station has made and how many changes the B 
station has made.  For example, if the A station stays on 20M and the B 
station stays on 40M but they alternate making Q's,  the counters will 
each register ZERO but after just three such band excursions the rule 
says NO MORE!  I believe Writelog should be checking for band changes as 
they enter the log, not by A or B designation, but simply in toto. 

73 and GL!
