<DIV><FONT size=2>Erwin,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I strongly dislike the tone and the wording of your mail.
Apparently you are not really familiar with the background of the win test
endeavour: All the money raised from selling WIN Test is devoted to upgrading
FY5KE and to bring FY5KE as one of the major contest stations into the air. This
is a much appreciated effort and thouroughly enriches the contest scenario for
thousands of hams taking part in contests and being happy to work FY5KE as a
multiplier especially on the low bands.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Apart from that the WIN Test Team has an outstanding
reputation for fixing bugs overnight; sometimes even in the morning of the day
the contest starts. I remeber an instance, when Ben, DL6RAI, reported a bug some
years ago, when he was operating out of the Emirates. The bug was fixed within
hours!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And as far as Aurora and other semi important things are
concerned: WT offers the possibility to make a note. So just mark the qso and
fix it afterwards in cabrillo or edi. After all: VHF and up is so slow - not to
say boring - over long stretches of time that I really don't get your point.
It's a minor issue. And the WT Team has always excelled in setting sound
priorities. That's the way, professionals work. A "first come first serve"
attitude is a little bit to simple minded when it comes to improve a very well
designed and highly complex program....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>See you in the DARC-VHF/UHF-Contest early in March and just
try to give me one of these lovely 59A reports. I couldn't care less,
hi....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Herve'<BR>thank you for your statement. <BR>In the program
discription you write support of vhf contests so you decided to go also this
way.<BR>If you had written there NO support for VHF contest or only support
for HF contest than I never had bought the program.<BR>I run different
programs and there it doesn't care much what report I type in as it is only a
input/output format.<BR>As some write they report bugs and some still waiting
5 years for a update this is a kind of ignorance to the users who buy the
software.<BR>Sorry to say it in hard words but this is no service to
customers.<BR><BR>Erwin/DK5EW<BR><BR>Am 22.02.2012 13:40, schrieb F5HRY:

part of the Win-Test crew, and VHFer (and up) contester myself, I agree
<BR>that Win-Test does not give an answer to all the features that we could
need <BR>or imagine. <BR><BR>BUT, Win-Test has never been designed for VHF
contests. It is basically an <BR>HF contest logger, that has been "adapted"
to VHF and up needs. We have never <BR>hidden it, and concentrated our
efforts on developping the HF requirements. <BR><BR>BTW, you may think it
simple to add things like mixed mode QSOs or "unusual" <BR>reports, such as
59S (but also 59RS), 59A, and why not AS, ot F, or ionoscatter, or
<BR>whatever new propagation mode could be used or discovered. But as those
unusual <BR>mixed_mode/reports never appear in the HF contests, making them
"recognized" by <BR>Win-Test requires a complete modification of the basic
user logging interface. This could <BR>create side effects problems, which
is against one goal of our global policy : reliability ! <BR><BR>Thus, I am
afraid nothing will be done soon. <BR><BR>73, <BR>Hervé F5HRY <BR><BR>-----

<BLOCKQUOTE id=Cite_3 class=" cite" type="cite">Hi guys, <BR><BR>after
using Win-test on shortwave I wanted to give it a try on VHF/UHF as
<BR>well where we used a different SW up to now. I stumbled upon several
<BR>topics that I cannot find help for in the documentation, maybe
someone on <BR>this list knows? <BR><BR>-WT rejects Aurora or Rain
Scatter reports. Is there any way to make this <BR>work? Rain Scatter
reports are mandatory for serious microwave efforts <BR>accounting for
up to 80% of all qso's in a summer contest on 10ghz. and <BR>even aurora
may come back in a contest some day. <BR><BR>- in a mixed mode SO2R
setup (e.g. Radio1 2m, Radio2 70cm), I want to <BR>work e.g. SSB on 2m
and CW on 70cm. However when Radio 1 is in SSB mode <BR>and Radio2 is
also, I cannot change Radio2 to CW mode. I first need to <BR>change
radio1 to CW and then I can change it also for radio2. When I do
<BR>that Win-test however changes also the band for radio2 so that it is
the <BR>same band as radio1. I then can change the band for radio2 and
everything <BR>is set up as I want it to be but this sounds like way to
complex in the <BR>hectics of an actual contest. <BR><BR>73s,
