Hi all,

just before planning the participation on the next IOTA contest, I've trying 
to simulate the loggin software with G's pile-up. Everybody knows it's very 
important to run a maximum of G's and maximum others IOTA multipliers to 
optimise the QSO/Pts ratio. (each contact with IOTA count 15 points except 
that, if you are on a island, contacts with your own IOTA reference count 3 
points and contacts with non-island stations count also 3 points.)

BTW, why WinTest can't automatically "EU005" when you put G station or 
"NA107" when you log FM5, with the possibility to change de IOTA ref ? (like 
SDI by EI5DI)  Curiously, in this configuration, if you forget the IOTA 
reference, the software accept logging G without IOTA reference and of 
course valid only 3 points QSO !

I don't know if a upgrade is possible before saturday, but for a log have 
more than 40% of G's stations, input manually "EU005" for each contact can 
not contribute to optimise the final score !

Thank and best regards,
Laurent F5MUX/P
