[WriteLog] WriteLog 12.69 now available

[Steve Woodruff]

Hi Folks,

WriteLog version 12.69 is a free upgrade for anyone who has purchased the full version of WriteLog since Jan 2022.
If you are running an earlier version, go here to purchase a new registration code: http://writelog.com/ordering

New in version 12.69 since 12.68:

* Add UDP QSO Export (for WRTC)
* Fix bearing calculation when typing a GRID into the CALL field to give priority to an exact match callsign in the country files that happens to also be a valid grid square. RA80OW is a current example.
* Always output STATION_CALLSIGN on ADIF export.
* Update VAQP support for 2023 rules.
* Speed up Winkey polling interval, which helps if there is delay in the WinKey/WriteLog COM port link.
* Change the default at File/New to bring up the Cabrillo details form as you start a contest. Add a check box, Prompt these details on File/New, which can be turned off to revert to the old behavior: ask for
* Cabrillo details later, on the Contest/Cabrillo-file menu selection.
* Add menu item to self spot.
* Prompt update CALLPREFIX if you change your “call used” to a different DXCC country.

For more information, read the help file in WriteLog.

The upgrade installers are available here:

Updating to 12.69 does not automatically update the necessary multiplier files. You must also File/update-data-files in WriteLog to download them. For anyone choosing to run WriteLog without upgrading, you still want to File/update-data-files in WriteLog to get the multiplier updates.

Thanks,
