[WT-support] NAQSOP Problems

[Bob Walker N4CU]

Tom, you are pretty quick with an excuse for the program principals.  The
bug was noted several days ago and no one commented.  When CT was supported
you could expect Jim or Ken to comment immediately.  The correct response is
to note the bug and place it on a list of things to investigate or fix.  I
just submitted my WinTest single op NAQSOP log.  I had compared it with a CT
prepared report and the WT was superior.  Using WinTest is a more pleasant
experience than using CT.  That does not excuse the fact that there was no
response from you or anyone else on this reflector to my original post.  And
you are not really the person that should have made the comment.  So excuse
understood and accepted as an excuse.
Thanks, Bob

Hmmmmm - Win-test was written by a bunch of guys to permit
them to take part in CQWW Contest post CT.

Due to peer pressure they released the programme to others
who liked it - in CQWW - then it just seems to have grown
and grown.   It was not as I understand it at the outset
designed or intended to be an all encompassing programme.

Now a days everybody buys a copy and assumes that it is pre
configured for every contest on the planet including ssb /
cw / rtty / psk / sstv / hell / and any other mode / you can
imagine.

I assume before buying the software you enquired as to
whether it would carry out the tasks you required of it?
I mean who would buy a sports car without asking what its
top speed was, then finding out it can only do 75mph, then
complains it is not fast enough.   If you were told IT WOULD
provide the necessary entry files for the contest you have a
valid beef - if you didnt enquire - Caveat emptor!

Its a bit like Write log written by americans - we europeans
expect it to cover every contest ever imagined.   Likewise
Win-test - maybe you expect too much of it....

Maybe its not actually an NAQSOP problem, but an operator
problem....
