[WT-support] R: CQWW CW : another great WinTest weekend!

[Claudio Veroli]

Hi all,
       finally a contest weekend without any failures.
 PC, network, radios and antennas were OK.    
 WT worked great, PCL worked great and absolutely no slowing down on PCs.
The slowing down we suffered in the CQWW SSB has been avoided by uninstall
every antivirus.
Just for a test, I only leaved one P IV 1.6 Ghz 512 Mb RAM with Antivirus
NOD32 active, and, as we expected, it was the only one where we noted a
little slowing down when we reached about 4000 Qsos.
After we disabled NOD32 and all its active modules (AMON EMON, ecc)  it
returned to its normal speed.

So be sure you disable all Antivirus particularly NOD32.

A stable network and PCL connection (IQ4AX-6)  really help us to reach a
great number of multipliers.

Congrat’s Larry and Olivier.
WT is a great loggin software.

Oggetto: [WT-support] CQWW CW : another great WinTest weekend!

Win-Test (3.18) worked very well for this weekend's CQWW CW.
 
Using the Objectives (oh, but please call them "Targets"!) feature gave a
real incentive. I was using my 2004 20m SOSB log as the target while doing
the same category this year. Unfortunately the absence of sunspots in 2007
made it hard work trying to keep up with the 2004 numbers, but the Win-Test
graphical target displays were very good.
 
The WT Zone identification was also very good. Only a few manual changes
were required. However there was one small area where it was always
defaulting to the wrong Zone: Every VE2 worked had to be manually changed
from 04 to 05 (apart, of course, from a few that were in 02).
 
Thanks again Win-Test!
