[WriteLog] Band Change window in All Asian contest not working as expected

[Mike Heideman]

For the All Asian CW contest we set up for M/S with 3 K3s; Run, In-Band S&P (designated Run), and Mult. We're using the N6TV hardware interlock on the Aux jacks of the two Run K3s.

The AA contest uses the same rules as CQWW for Mult station transmitting and for band changes (10-minute rule) for both Run and Mult. After bringing up the Band Change window we right-clicked and set it for 10-minute rule.

We then logged a test JA1 QSO on the Run station. This resulted in a countdown timer for the Run station starting at 60 minutes and the small circle changing from green to yellow.

Is there a way to get the timer to use 10 minutes instead of 60 by changing a configuration? We can use the existing timer and just wait to change bands until it counts down below 50 minutes but it would be preferable to get the "green light". The documentation hints at 60 being the default when the band changes per hour selection is made but I can't find any way of changing the interval from 60 to 10 when a 10-minute rule is used.

A secondary annoyance is that if a new mult is worked on the Mult radio that was already worked on another band then a message appears in the Band Change window stating that a non-mult was worked on the Mult radio. Mults in the AA contest are WPX prefixes by band. The scoring of the log is correctly counting mults per band but the Band Change window seems to be counting only prefixes, ignoring the band.

There are very few M/S entries in the AA contest so we may be among the first to encounter these issues with WriteLog.
