Many thx, and hope to work you.

Hi  George  

A tip from the the "father" of Target functionality in Win-test.
I advise you to have ready made three objective files.
A central one one, another +10% from the central and another with  -10%.
After 12 or so hours you will know which of the three target files to  keep.

Any contesting activity has a cap - Propagation potential during the  
contest weekend.
We never know what propagation will be, but for majority of contests once  
the contest starts the end result (in score points) will be given by  
propagation potential.
You don't want to have an objective file that is very off from the  
propagation potential.

Thanks, Luca.

I right-clicked the Targets tab and was able to display the targets  data.  
I can now see that having the targets will be a great motivator  to keep me 
going in the contest.

Many tnx es 73, George - AB1HZ in WPX

You don't seeany graphic untill you start the contest. If you want to  see 
something before you must change the way to show using right-click  menu of 
mouse on the target window.

Did you click the "Targets" tab at the bottom of the Statistics  window?

I want to load a target file for WPX.  I have created a  target file from a 
prior WPX contest, which I see is a *.opf  file.  I opened this file in 
Notepad, and I the entries look  legit.

In the Tools Menu, I click on "Load a targets file" which opens a  browse 
box and select the obf file that I have created.   When I click "Open" the 
browse box closes.  

At this point, I expect to see the target entries on the  Statistics 
window, but they are not there.  So, I go to File I  Explore and look in each of 
the Win-Test directories, but I do not  find the obf file in any of them.

Where am I suppose to find the obf target file that I have loaded  for my 
new WPX log? 

Any assistance will be appreciated.

And, yes, I have read the documentation, but no joy.

73, George
