AW: [WT-support] WinTest in German "WAG" Contest

[Winter, Andreas]

Hi Larry,

see below.

This has been privately reported by Ben DL6RAI and already fixed. But 
tnx for pointing it out too.

In all cases, today, this field cannot be extended to more than 8 chars.

Does such a long DOK *really* exist (or existed) ?


=> 8 characters should be fine. Personally I know only "Special" DOKs up
to 8 characters / special DOKs with 8 chars are issued.
But nowadays nobody is safe for changes ... So 10 characters was a
suggestion of me to cover every case.


There is another point which came up in our internal after contest
discussion: Alt-K is the keyboard mode. To leave the keyboard mode I
have to press ESC. Is it possible to leave the keyboard by pressing
again ALT-K, as it is implemented in CT?


WinTest is a real great contest programm!

Thanks & 73
