[WT-support] Win-Test does not meet my need!

[Felipe J Hernandez]

Wow, thats a strong statement..

I have to say that our experience at the k5D operation at desecheo, running Win-test was a fenomenal one..
with over 115k qsos and over 8k qsos on rtty we were glad to use such a stable and functional software.

Ive used it for the last CQWW for at least 13k contest qsos as well as RTTY and found it to be great..
Im not saying you dont have the right to demand your purchased product to be as advertised..just 
that I think that the "minimal contest software needs" is a little unfair and certainly not the experience of many 
very active contesters and Dxpeditioners.

Regards,

  Hi Larry,

  Win-Test does not meet my minimal amateur radio contest software needs in 
  its current version.  This program does not perform as advertised in the 
  features section of the Win-Test website.  Developers of this software 
  appear to not have any plans to correct the current problems in the near 
  future.  Two specific examples of Win-Test not living up to its advertised 
  features are RTTY performance and Cabrillo performance.  Since it doesn't 
  meet my minimal needs and advertised features I WANT A REFUND OF MY 45 
  EUROs.  Please send me a refund through PayPal as soon as possible.

  Quotes from you:

  RTTY - As a convenience, not a feature:  I rather say it would be VERY LOW 
  on our priorities of dvpt. You must know that RTTY has been added on 
  Win-Test more for convenience of users who were using it for CW and Phone 
  contesting. We added the majors RTTY contests (CQWW, WPX, WAE) and some 
  others, but we never claimed Win-Test to be the best RTTY logger ever. 
  Despite many users won their categories in these contests with it ;-) They 
  accepted the unacceptable, you see...

  Cabrillo - on having to manually edit file:  I always thought (and Olivier 
  too, as he wrote this part of the code), that this Cabrillo line had to be 
  filled with the State (or DX). I see it can be different for some ARRL 
  sections. So, yes, for now, you have to fill it manually (read : edit the 
  Cabrillo file).
