Jerry,
Sorry, I wasn't at the radio computer and at the time could not recall which
field is was!
It was under the Contest;Exchange Format setup; call; then it shows blocks for
what can be added!
On one Contest, maybe NEQSO, I had to go in and under "RCV" had to add a space
so that Writelog would except the "CountyState" abrev. and also checked the
"Dupe" block because Writelog was not checking for DUPE either.
Like I said, for this one time in the contest it worked and begin checking
Dupes, but not the ones I had already recorded before the change.
If you look up the heading in Writelog help file, you will see that you can
Edit QSO Exchange Fields. Also if like the 7QP Contest for the RCV field had to
have at least five spaces in this field for it to record the StateCounty "RECV"
field.
At first I thought that they had only four spaces in this field that made it
drop the fifth char. in the "RECV" field.
But when I went to this area of the Writelog and changed these two fields under
RCV and Dupe, it made no difference!

James,
I am trying to figure out what box you checked to allow/disallow WL dupe
checking. Can you give me specific details?
ALSO.... looking in the WL INI file, Band Map colors... do you know what each
of the colors are used for? I think I recall there was some sort of color
editor software that could be downloaded to easily accommodate color changes.
Saw your fine photo on QRZ.COM - you will see my pix & bio there, too.

Jerry,
I am in the same boat, so to speak! I am running 10.59D, which I purchased
years ago. The problem with me, I have seen so many remarks, concerning the
upgrades and problems with different radios, so I have been reluctant to
upgrade.
I had the same problem last year with the program no checking DUPES. I was
able to shut the program down and bring it up again, and then go into the
program and check a box for Writelog to check for Dupes, and it worked.
Tried the same thing this time but it did not change anything.
Don't understand the difference from last year and this year.
Maybe someone will come up with a fix!

James,
Thanks for your confirming observations (below).
I wonder if WL will fix this. My WL license has expired. I is annoying
to think that I will have to pay out additional $$ to them to get
something fixed that should have worked correctly when released.

Dave,
Yes, I had the same problem with the 7QP. Ver. 10.59D did the same as K6III
said. Would not show a DUPE and you could not enter a call into the log if they
were worked somewhere else. Showed the call as a new station and when you
entered the "RCVD" field everthing looked fine until you hit the space bar or
enter key. Writelog would drop the fifth letter and give the Unknown Mult
error.
