[WT-support] Advanced setup network for M2

[Patrick 9A5CW]

Hi,
same problem with WT slow down we had also on one PC (RUN) ... after
disconecting that
PC from local LAN WT worked fast.
I noticed that PC was slow at the beggining of the contest.
At the end 6800 qso in our log...
We used WT 3.17 with 3xFT1000MP... also QSX on 7MHz didnt worked when
grabbing spots. (saw that is now solved).

Zone guessing was wrong, we used CTY.DAT because this one was only updated
by AD1C, CTY_mod files where old from August. We used auto zone guessing
with CQWW.DTB updated from the last year cqww ssb contest logs, if you type
K or W (1st letter) automaticaly WT put zone 5, when we type full call which
was in cqww.dtb zone was changed correct.

If possible to change auto zone guessing for USA calls only when full prefix
is typed... "K1, K2; K3 etc" will be much better and guess the zone for USA
calls from the number in the prefix.

Thanks to WT team ... for super software... hope next year we will kick
FY5KE ;))))

73, Patrik - 9A5CW - 9A1P M/S team
