I managed to come to N6RO without the latest release of the program, so
used 6.01 which we had used in some WPX.
I guess I need to program some single-stroke key with Alt-C so I don't have
to keep messing up Alt-C. Once I inadvertantly left a C in the callsign
window and when someone called me I did something weird with either the Del
key or the Backspace key and the guy's callsign at the same time -- the
program wrote a VERY strange line of code into the log that caused TR to go
crazy. I had to stop, edit out the offending line, delete the .bin file
and start the program over. Not fatal, but instructive. Another vote for
the ascii log file -- I'd probably have spent a half hour working on this
in binary.
Question for Geo iii or other single-multi user -- have you discovered any
color combinations that help you keep track of which radio is active other
than the little Rig 1 - Rig 2 notation, and the radio frequency readout?
I'd like to do something a little more noticeable.
On a somewhat lighter note, I did manage to work one dupe. It was W1AW/7.
I figured Tree probably modified the program to let me work them as a dupe
under the heading of "Work us early and often" since he was the 20m op
there. This was on 80m though, so I'm not entirely sure what was going on.
Did anyone else manage to dupe W1AW? Or maybe it was because of my
callsign??
73, Steve K6AW
