[WT-support] Has the $QSOB4 SO2R bug been fixed in V4?

[Ed Muns]

TV-Bob and I have argued this point (working dupes or not) for years.  Even
in ARRL Sweepstakes with its long exchange, I strongly prefer to just work
dupes and not break my rhythm.  I also don't want to risk getting a NIL (and
penalty) because the other person doesn't have me in the log for the alleged
first QSO.  And, I certainly don't want to instigate a discussion about if
and when we worked earlier.  Bob and I will continue to disagree on this and
it is not a "truth" that long exchanges make the QSO B4 message effective.
 
So, contesters will continue to take different sides on this topic.  But,
the QSOB4 macro bug in Win-Test should be fixed.

Just work the dupe.
There should be a penalty for people who don't work  dupes...


Obviously you have never entered the ARRL Sweepstakes contest, where you can
work a station only once the entire weekend, and the exchange is
extraordinarily long.  In this contest, it is much faster NOT to work the
dupe, especially when others are calling at the same time.

This bug makes the SO2R scenarios completely unusable in such contests, and
I am really hoping that it will be fixed soon.
