[WT-support] win-test in IOTA

[Stewart Cooper GM4AFF]

I think you can add some notes about which contacts to delete after you have
uploaded your log, at the validation stage. If the QSOs were made on
'another' or second radio Cabrillo has allowance for which radio was used
(but perhaps only in an SO2R rather than MM environment). That way
non-multipleir stations worked on Radio2 would be void anyway.
BTW I was very happy with WinTest in IOTA. Only one thing, which has already
been mentioned, is checking whether an IOTA ref has been worked - putting in
a dummy letter into the callsign field does indeed give you an indication of
which island he is, etc., but why do we need to put in a dummy letter?

In these conditions, and if you want to be picky and have a correct
claimed score, Pascal F5JSD found the right way ! But, IMHO, claiming a
higher score (by few points I guess) is not a big deal. The correction
robot is supposed to recalculate it in all cases. So, if you submit a
log with "non-multiplier QSOs made accidentally on the second station",
the robot will give no points for them. Better is to ask the contest
organizer ?
