[WriteLog] Fwd: Fwd: bug in QSO numbering

[Mike RA9FTM]

Hello Scot and all.

In our russian contest rules we have the following:
"if there is more than 5% of incoming and missed numbers in log, station will be disqualificated."


In VHF contest this situation is very often, when another station needs to QSY, for exmaple, from 144Mhz to 432Mhz. 

So, it is a very big problem for us.


Many thanks for your attention. Only hope, that Wayne W5XD correct it.

> This is not a bug.
> The rules state that the serial number must be copied and/or the serial

> Nothing in the rules state that a serial number in a log must start with one

> WriteLog gives you a serial number with a call so you can send it. If you

> The serial numbers are unique, in order. Just not sequential.

> So, again. How to introduce this bug:
> 1. First of all, go Setup->Sort order & serial numbers, check "Separate by
> band"
> 2. enter a call in the entery window
> 3. Press ALT+F1, ALT+F2  (change band and back again)
> 4. Press CTRL+W
> 5. enter call again and you will see, that TX number is now number "2" (not
> "1")
> Hot to repair this one:
> go Contest->Recalculate score
> OR
> go Setup->Sort order & serial numbers, check "Total of all bands"
> go Setup->Sort order & serial numbers, check "Separate by band"
> This bug is not depends on module, what you will use, so it is in
> WriteLog....
