[WriteLog] WriteLog BARTG RTTY test

[Don AA5AU]

I may not be able to help you with #1 because I use the DXTelnet interface with WriteLog.  Open the Packet Spots window and see if you are getting spots in the Packet Spots window.

#2. To get callsigns to highlight in Rttyrite, make sure you set the Super Check Partial file.  For instructions on how to do that.  Go to the Tutorials Page on rttycontesting.com and click on the link "Setting the DTA file for Super Check Partial" or go directly via the link here:

http://rttycontesting.com/writelog/supercheckpartial/supercheckpartial_page1.htm

In one of the Rttyrite menus, you have the option to highlight callsigns after a DE is received or not.  I use this feature because it allows callsigns that are not in the Super Check Partial file to highlight as well as those that are in the file.

#3. Use a %E at the end of all RTTY messages to end the transmission.  Also you should include at least one space at the end of all your message before putting the %E. If you don't put a space or two, noise characters will be appended to the end of your message.  DON'T FORGET THE SPACE!

#4. I don't completely understand this question, but sample messages can be found on rttycontesting.com from the home page by clicking the link in the link bar named "RTTY Contest Messages".  Use the pull down menu on the RTTY Contest Message page to select the contest you want.  I need to update these pages, but you will get the idea of what you need to do.  If not, send me a personal note and I'd be happy to help.

#5. WL has special functions for operating the K3 for SO2V.  Ed Muns (w0yk at msn.com)probably is best to address this one.  Maybe if I could get Elecraft to send me a K3 with a second sub-receiver, I'd be happy to document how to set up WriteLog for it.  But I don't think I'll be that lucky.  Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one.


73, Don AA5AU
