<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear WT-Development-Team,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>when preparing for the Russian DX Contest (RDXC) on
17/18 March in the MOST-Class (Multi-OP, single TRX) I ran into two shortcomings
/ bugs, namely</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(1) If I change bands by clicking the up resp. down
arrows in WT, version 3.8.6, the numbering of my QSOs starts with 001
again, i.e. each band is counted seperately in WT. I do not find anything to
that extent in the rules. It should be consecutive numbering all the way,
irrespective of mode and band.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(2) In the multi-op class the rules stipulate a
10-minute rule, i.e. you have to spend at least 10 minutes on each band unless,
of course, you changed bands just for working one or more new multipliers. I can
observe something like a reminder of a 10-minutes-rule at the bottom of the band
map; but actually that counter seems to start all over again each time you enter
a new QSO irrespective of whether it's a new multiplier or just another QSO. So,
that doesn't help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What would be needed is a clear indication of
whether a qso would be a valid qso according to the 10-minutes rule or not;
i.e. for example: QSO-entry flashing, if the qso violates the 10-minutes rule,
or a red bar, if you are within the 10 minutes stretch and a green bar, if you
are free to change bands for other purposes than just working a new
multiplier.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for looking into this. It would be great if
you could fix this before the contest!</FONT></DIV>
