[WT-support] False DUPE --- Re: Win-Test in VHF/UHF Contests

['Zaba' OH1ZAA]

Bonjour Laurent, 


Win-test has support for the 70 MHz (4 meters) band, bravo! 


Last night I worked the 50 MHz NAC. I was running between two 
stations (OH4BCS and OH5ZA) and used Win-test and N1MM+ on 
the same PC for the same contest for the two separate logs. 


At one point I marked two QSO's in Win-test in the wrong log, so 
I removed the QSO's. But then I worked one of these removed calls 
later to be logged in Win-test. The QSO was logged, but it was marked 
as DUPE by Win-test (23.0), though it was not in the list above (just once 
removed there). Thus it would be better, if the removed call would not stay 
in a hidden cache. Actually, after reloading the log after the contest, the QSO 
was not marked DUPE any more (but it can cause confusion in the "happening"). 


   Cheers/73; "Zaba" OH1ZAA
