Even though I am using WL version 11.04A, I suspect that the 7QP (7 land QSO Party) contest module may need some tweaking for next??  Mine says version  1.0.0.6 at the bottom of the station setup page which is from January, 2012. 

1. For instance this weekend, I made all RTTY-digital contacts although the score box shows them listed under the CW column, not a Digital or RTTY column (the cabrillo file shows RY so it must be ok though).

2. I made 85 contacts with one dup so I should have 84 legitimate QSOs.  The score box again shows  85 valid QSOs.

3. And my several DX QSOs, in which I put the words "DX" in the RCVD column,  did not show a multiplier for them nor the question mark as described in the Readme file.  WriteLog did put the name in the COUNTRY column and the letter abbreviation (such as HI) in the C PREF column.

4. The cabrillo entry form would not allow me designate POWER, MODE , or BAND.  I was SO-high power, digital, and all band.  Anyway, I edited it to get that information into the file.  Maybe there were some recent rule changes and the module never got revised to that extent?  The 7QP contest people said to send it that way and their computers will take care of the scoring (add the DX and take off the dup for scoring).  Anyone else have these problems?
