[WT-support] win-test in vhf/uhf contests

[Karel Odehnal]

Hello Jan,

we (OK5Z)  used the WT for for V/U/SHF/uW contest one time. Even I like 
this software for HF contesting, we refused to use the WT on VHF.

There is absolutely no support and the will to improve the WT for VHF 
and up contesting.
I have reported the bugs, but still nothing. As you mentioned, the 
problem with the report, next the problem with the output to EDI format, 
old VHF database and more.

There is a lot of another free of charge SW for VHF and up.

Best 73! Karel OK2ZI/OK5Z
