[WT-support] RSGB NFD ... all OK, tnx!

[Nigel G3TXF]

Hello Larry,

Everything is now OK with the RSGB NFD (CW Field Day) scoring in Win-Test. 
Yes, I had used a FIXED callsign rather than a /P callsign. With G3TXF/P as 
the callsign all the scoring is correct.

Many thanks for implementing this useful module within Win-Test.

GW0AAA/p will be using Win-Test in the RSGB NFD in early June.

Merci du soutien technique super!
