The Makrothen module has been broken since it was created in 2004. Never seems to be get fixed.

Other problems include losing highlighting of callsigns in Rttyrite window (fixed by closing, then restarting Rttyrite), callsigns
from Packet spots going to the bandmap do not show as dupes if they are already worked on that band, and clicking calls on the
bandmap puts the radio in CW mode. These are just a few I remember from last weekend. If you search "Makrothen" in the WriteLog
reflector archives you'll see these problems have always existed.

During the Makrothen contest I noticed the following:
 
1. Summary sheet and Cabrillo differences
 
The summary sheet correctly counted 292 QSOs but posted a score of 1061222.5 points The Cabrillo file  posted a score of 3056336
points.
 
2. Grid locators during the contest
 
If a station has been worked on any band and then is worked again on another band, WL will autofill the grid information for the
second QSO. Often the autofill chose a different grid from the  first QSO.
 
Just for FYI purposes.
 
See you in JARTS.
 
73, Joe
