Hi Gord,
OK. I think I know what is wrong. It
sounds like you did not select your actual
entry class so WL defaults to a single op
setting where the band change timers are
at the 'default'.
I am aware of the rules differences between
multi-one and multi-two as well as the slight
differences in the RTTY contest.
Load up a new WPX-CW log and go to the contest
menu, select parameter setup. A dialog shows
up... just hit OK, and then another pops up
which asks you to select your entry class. This
is where the band-change timers get initialized
for WPX, based on the selection you make there.
I thought the release notes for 10.52 mentioned
this but those are often overlooked. :)
Try that out and let me know if it fixes things
for you...
tnx
