[WriteLog] [RTTY] Writelog & spots for Makrothen

[Gary AL9A]

Dick,

I have found that when first opening WL the Makrothen Rttyrite window will 
not highlight the calls.  So upon starting WL the first thing I do is shut 
down the Rttyrite window that opens when WL starts up and then manually 
reopen it by Window/RTTY window.  This seems to fix the highlighting 
problem.  If it ever stops doing that again I reclose and reopen the window. 
The band map problems and changing of modes from RTTY to CW remain however.

73,
Gary AL9A

We go through this every year. Here is what I wrote two years ago:

"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."

Gary and the group,

Yup, I also found that "some" spots - when clicked on - moved the rig to CW.
At one point, I saw VA2UP, clicked on his spot, and it turned to CW, but 
when I clicked on another spot, the rig went back to RTTY.

I also noted that I had worked NS9I, and the bandmap showed this call in 
red, but another spot came up, with a different QRG, and I
then had NS9I twice on the bandmap, one in red, and one in blue/green, 
indicating not worked.

I'm not sure if it is just this module, or the new version of Writelog, but 
something is definitely flakey currently.

I don't recall this problem in previous years, so something has changed.

Perhaps others will find similar once this session is over.

I'll be back on air tomorrow............
