[WT-support] Stew Perry Contest -- important tips

[Stefan Pfeiffer]

Bob,

Thanks for your valuable help on that topic after being over 10h into  
that contest. I nearly got mad trying to figure out why exchange  
guessing and call database does not seem to work right. I had to  
decide before the test whether to go with N1MM or Win-Test into SP  
TBDC, and as i paid for WT, i went with it. Perhaps the other choice  
would have been better. But now with your help, it works at least. Do  
i get it right that the main focus of development and bug-fixing in WT  
is on the big 48h-contests? That could really influence my decision on  
what logger to use in the next "smaller" contests. I feel i little bit  
disappointed now.

Vy 73 de Stefan, DL1ELY, still enjoying the TBDC...
