[WriteLog] 7qp contest

[Richard S. Leary]

Steve,
I noticed same as you did. And tks for the RTTY contact. The score box here
also only shows CW, PH, and Mul. I worked 151 contacts combined CW, SSB, and
RTTY. The Score box is not right as far as number of QSO's per band/mode.
Total number(s) are correct per mode shown in the box, but not for actual
number of QSO's in the log by band/mode. Multiplier total is off (less) the
number of "DX" contacts worked, On 20M I had 15 Mults shown in log, plus 2
DX. Score box showed 16 Mults. Should have been 17 (including DX), or 15
without DX. 

I also had Power, Mode, and Band greyed out for Cabrillo, though my .log
file showed RY, CW, and SSB correctly. Also had to edit Cabrillo LOCATION
from WWA (Western Washington) to WAPIE (Washington Pierce County) per 7QP
rules. I sent the .log file in without any other additions. Oh yes, I'm
running WL 11.04A, and 7QP is also 1.0.0.6. 
Also, all my "DX" contacts did not show a multiplier. Just a blank. I tried
to enter the prefix but when I did that it came up with a "?", but no change
in total mults or score when I did a "rescore" after the change. Went back
to the "DX" entry, and let the robot take care of it.

I'm sure Steve will look into it. He's been doing a pretty damn good job of
it so far.

Other than what you mentioned, all went good here. See you in Sweepstakes
for EWA.

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?
