[WriteLog] zero points

[robert beaudoin]

     Good afternoon Ed

             Well not sure just what was taking/happening  but started up

                 Writelog hit Digiwrite and wow now NO Waterfall. Well

                   so I went from poor to worse...... OK time to get 
serious....

                 I did a Restore on computer, well that reverted 
Writelog back

                     to 12.84c I think it was...... Decided to update 
WSJTX to 2.7.1 rc7

                   Went to writelog website updated to 12.85D again.

                             Disconnect everything ..... Reboot

                                  OK check WSJTX   all fine 
there........    Exit WSJTX  load

                         Writelog hit Digiwrite HMMmmnn  looks proper  
Hit CQ on idle

                             watch writelog do it's thing for a while  
all seems fine.... And

                         yep QSO with only signal report without Grid  - 
did score 1 point.

                             Still sequence number messing up like 3 
number 35s  ....

                         skipping a number or two here and there....

                  Band summary seems to show proper totals ??  All in 
all I am good to go.

                 Unfortunately because I did a few changes....... I 
don't know what

                     corrected my previous problems.

                 I don't believe I will do a  serious effort in FT8 
Challenge  but I will put

             in a fair amount of hours...FT8 not as much fun as RTTY  
but sure beats SSB.

                         Enjoy all who check this test out.
