[WriteLog] ARRL 160 Contest

[Mike Heideman]

I got a log full of Q's marked B at the beginning of SS CW when I discovered that my rig interface configuration had been changed overnight by one of our other club members and it took me a couple of hours to get it working again while I sent by paddle and logged Q's on the wrong band/mode.  Once I got it reconfigured I manually edited all of the band/mode information for these Q's as I continued to operate.  Editing them caused the mult to be forgotten by WL and the callsign seemed to be dropped from the "dupesheet".

 

Choosing "Recalculate Score", which is on the Contest menu if I remember right, eliminates all B's that have been corrected and fixes the mults and dupesheet.  The first time I did Recalculate Score there were still a couple B's left that I was then able to correct and redo the Recalculate Score.
