Goetz and gang,
I had this following problem (v10.40j and latest SM6SRW v030222 add-ons).
If I work an EA station, new, or even previously with the fields in the
entry window filled in.
And, if I assumed the EA station would hear me ok then went ahead and
entered the station in my log before sending him my report. The macro
variable %3 would send the 'blank' serial number from the entry window and
NOT the logged position.
I sort of suspect my first EA station worked now has a wrong number - he was
gone before I realized the problem.
No problem with DX or domestic calls.
Anyone else noticed that same problem with EA stations?

-> Hello WL friends!
->
-> I am using WL-10.40J and the SM6SRW_020630 add-ons.
-> This setup was last used in the BARTG SPRING contest
-> without any problems.
-> During the EA RTTY I noticed several peculiarities.
-> (For our friends in North America: I operate OUTSIDE NA)
-> 1) In the Rttyrite window ALL (new)callsigns were
-> highlighted in GREEN. There was NO YELLOW for new
-> multipliers EXCEPT for US and Candian calls.
-> 2) When highlighted calls are clicked into the entry
-> windows call field usually you get an "add-on" text
-> like New Station and (if applicable) New Multiplier
-> beneath the callsign. In the EA RTTY ONLY US and
-> Canadian calls (and a few EA calls) did get the New
-> Multiplier indication. All others merely were hinted
-> New Station - even though they were in fact new mults.
-> 3) Scoring of multipliers as shown in the Band Summary
-> window was correct.
-> 4) Using the INSERT key put the highlighted call into
-> the call field and sent the correct contest message.
-> HOWEVER, these calls were NOT labeled New Station and/or
-> New Multiplier - just nothing! AND the cursor STAYED in
-> the call field, did not move on to the next field as usual.
-> (MoveNextOnEnter=1 is set in the WL Ini)
-> 5) As a result of this problem, the ENTER key would NOT
-> send the QSL/QRZ message as set up and expected. In each
-> such case I had to move the cursor manually to the next field.
->
-> Did anyone else observe these peculiarities? Is anything wrong
-> with the 10.40J version or the EA-RTTY module?
