Yes since the M's went to Scotland thats true. When you edit your
log instead of having /MM make it -MM I'm pretty sure it will score
correctly.. I know it does in RTTY mode..

You didn't do anything wrong, I'm not sure what to do with a /MM
when M's belong to Scotland now.. Just change the / to a - and I
think all will be well...

You can change the time on you writelog.ini file so the spots will
stay on screen longer. I'm not sure what default is right now but
it not real long..

Thanks Marty I agree with you 100%..
