[WT-support] WinTest Notes ARRL CW DX at HG6N

[Zoli Pitman HA1AG]

Hello, 
 
We used W-T for the first time on HG6N last weekend (3.8.4). Some notes: 
 
- ALT-A (packet announcement) window showed KH6 and KL7 spots. 
 
- Partial Search gave non US/VE calls also. I followed the instructions of the manual to no avail. Finally renamed the USVE dtb-file to HF.DTB and worked OK. Larry said hr that if the contest is set to ARRL DX and the call used is a non-US/VE call W-T should list US spots only without deleting/renaming DTB-files. 
 
- We have the feeling ( I know it sounds stupid for a trouble report:) ) that Partial Search doesn't find all the matches if the "start searching at the second character"  is enabled.  This is very subjective I know but had no time to do more testing after the contest. But will do. 
 
I assume my first two points were pilot errors on my side otherwise I would have seen it reported by many more. If it is so, please advise me abt the solution. 
 
- If someone is using W-T with TS-950SDX CAT, please contact me off the list. 
 
Re: K3LR comments: 
 
#1, I think it is a good idea to have a trailing dit time IF (and ONLY IF) there is an other F-msg to be played in the queue. Otherwise it is not a good idea to keep PTT tripped longer (and you deaf) especially where you have some sophisticated antenna switching which often requires 120-150 ms PTT release delay. 
 
#3 is a valid remark also - not critical but would be much easier to view. 
 
 73!
