[WriteLog] Wrong QSO points

[Gary AL9A]

Janez,

What call sign did you use when you installed WriteLog?  Sounds like you 
need to reset the CALLPREFIX line in the [Multipliers] section of your ini 
file.  From the WriteLog Help manual...

Setting your DXCC country
The point value and multipliers are calculated assuming your station is 
located in the DXCC country indicated by an entry in WRITELOG.INI, You can 
modify the CALLPREFIX line in the [Multipliers] section in WRITELOG.INI in 
your Windows directory (normally c:\windows). The value must be the prefix 
of the country of operation, all upper case. If the prefix by itself does 
not determine the country of operation, then also add a PREFIX_XTRA value 
which is the letter that you would enter in the C field (see previous 
section) to specify which country. For example, if you are operating as 
CE0DX from Easter Island, you would modify (or add) a section to 
WRITELOG.INI that looked like this:

[Multipliers]
CALLPREFIX=CE0
PREFIX_XTRA=E

WriteLog automatically sets this INI entry using your callsign when you 
install the software. But if you are on a Dxpedition you will want to change 
the INI entry manually.

So the correct line for your ini file would be:

CALLPREFIX=S5

You added your complete call sign, not just the prefix.  This is probably 
why there is no change in the score.  After editing the ini file and saving 
it you must exit WL and then restart it again for it to see the new ini file 
setting.

Subject: [WriteLog] Wrong QSO points

Hi
Just finnished CQ WW CW. To my huge dissapointment I noticed that WL behaved 
like I am in US. So all QSOs with US resulted in 0 points, 2 points for 
Carribeans and Canada and 3 for the rest.
How to fix it? Parameter SETUP was set to Zone 15 prior to the contest, 
there is also my CALL and address in the Save setup. However I did notice 
that writelog.ini is very "dry", due to my software reinstalation during the 
summer this year (only 2 lines) and it reads:
[Summary]MultNames=Sec,Dx,ITU,DX,Mul,Zn,St,Grid,ZN,MUL,Ca,Co,Pref,HQ,Sta,Prov,DXCCQsoNames=QSO,CW,PH,RT
Today I have also added: CALLPREFIX=S58J, but when I chose Recalculate score 
there is no change.
I am using WL ver. 10.83.
Any help is more than welcome.
Janez, S58J
