Hi Guys and Merry Christmas to yall!
I used dxlog for the first time in a contest although not in a serious
mode, more of a find out what's going on mode.
Following are my observations, Some of these may already be listed; but
I can't find the to do list.
1. MAJOR: Zones were consistently wrong i.e All the US west coast (zone
3) were put into zone 4 and as the contest progressed, they were moved
to zone 5. One I station was put into zone 5 vice 15.
2. MINOR: Setting up RTTY macros drove me up the wall. Checked the WIN
TEST manual and it showed a separate rtty macro window. Does anyone
have a workaround for this?
I have to go back and redo all the cw macros for that mode. This is
probably on the to do list.
3. Minor: Dupe checking did not start untill I worked a dupe and logged
it.. OL8M on 40m was a dupe and logged. After that , the dupe function
started working and showed dupes of other stations. I had previously
tried this prior to the OL8M contact with no dupe indication. (F6CXJ).
In summary, I really like the program and appreciate all the hard work
that has gone into it. In particular, I like the layout, very nice and
clean. Not having been a previous WINTEST user, I was lost in
understanding the naunces of the macros. So the WINTEST manual has been
downloaded and required reading.
Thanks again and 73
