[WT-support] PSK

[Tim Ellison]

Tom,

If you review my post on this issue, I am suggesting that Win-Test NOT
integrate digital mode programs into the software.  That would be a
useless waste of precious programming resource.  What I am suggesting is
to leverage the prior art by others, especially for a full-featured
program like MixW which has DDE hooks in it to pass call, frequency and
possibly the report data to Win-Test so the QSO can be logged in the
appropriate software (Win-Test).  Other logging programs, such as
Prolog2K are already doing this and it would be a small programming
effort for Win-Test to have the logic added to receive QSO data via a
DDE link. 

I too can "make" it work, but I'd rather have a process that doesn't
require double entry of contest data.


-Tim

I think to be fair to the guys,  Win-Test started life as a contest 
programme for their OWN contest group for CW and SSB   CQ World Wide.   
It soon became popular and they began slowly to market it - testing the
waters.

They found that there was  good market for Win-test as it stood because
of problem with other especially American Programmes.

Now, everybody and their granny wants the software modified to meet 
their own personal requirements.   I see people asking for templates for

NFD and other minority Contests.

I have made Wintest work for me in RTTY running TWO seperate versions of

MMTTY at the same time to allow me to work split.    Surely if it works 
in RTTY it cant be that difficult to make it work in PSK.

I think this is the benefit of a GROUP where perhaps somebody else has
made it work doing something it was  perhaps not ingtended to do 
initially.    I dont think we can ask Olivier and Larry all the time to 
make the necessary adjustments.
