[WT-support] Main advantages of Win-Test over Writelog / N1MM?

[Tõnno Vähk]

unfortunately the last two versions of WT are having stability problems. Often when opening the log file WT closes after error message (reported by several people) and in last contests we have had network getting lost (one computer dropping out) displaying Packet Stream Error or sth like that and message about Unique network QSO-identifier or sth.. and some other error messages and I have heard other stations having the same problems. I hope that will get somehow fixed in the next versions...

Bob,

 

We had been using WriteLog for our J7OJ/J75KG operations and always had network problems, in both connecting the network initially, and in keeping it connected.  The network would drop for some reason every now and then.  Win-test had a good reputation for having a stable network, and that is why we switched.  It is true; we never had a problem connecting the network with WT, nor keeping it up.  

 

I use WT in my daily operations and in most contests.  I especially like the gray line map, which I keep up all the time.  The only time I now go back to WL is when I need a particular contest module that is not in WT.

 

73, Geo...

	I've been asked to give a presentation about Win-Test at the next meeting of the Northern California Contest Club on Monday.  Other popular contest software such as Writelog and N1MM will also be presented.  I haven't used these other two programs much, so I am not sure of their capabilities and limitations.  I mainly switched to Win-Test because I was used to CT, it was an easy conversion, and Win-Test has a great reputation amongst top contesters, especially in Europe.
	
	If anyone on this list has used Writelog or N1MM, but then settled on Win-Test, what do you see as the main advantages of Win-test over these other two programs?  A feature-by-feature comparison table isn't that helpful; please describe the most important differences.
	
	Thanks.
