Contesters,
I have noticed at times that my call (W7DPW) gets busted (W7DP, W7DPA)
and its very difficult to get it corrected, especially under marginal
band conditions. I attribute this to be a reflection, in the contests,
of the MASTER.CAL or MASTER.DTA file that is being used.
Neither of the two calls mentioned are contesters, (W7DP is a club
station and W7DPA is non-existent).
I have noticed that when using WriteLog, and clicking on a call, if the
shorter call is in the MasterCallFile, it is the one transferred to the
call window. If one is not paying too much attention to the captured
call, it goes uncorrected.
These calls probably got into the MasterCallFile during a merge of many
many files. There are probably numerous cases of this call busting
happening other than my call..
I would hope that any calls in a distributed MasterCall File require
that a call appear more than a minimum number (5-10) of times and from
different suppliers (5-10).
Thanks for support.
Dave W7DPW
