<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [WT-support] 10m Contest and
Bandmap</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I was confused too, as I was able to replicate the problem
using WT 3.23.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I finally realized that all of the cluster spots being displayed by SH/DX
28 were over 60 minutes old, so they were all too "stale" to show up in the
Radio 1 band map, or the Announce window.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So it looks like you'll have to wait for some real 10m spots to show
up.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The spot lifetime (timeout) can only be changed in the <A
href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Windows#Band_Map_properties">Band Map
Properties dialog</A>. 60 minutes is the maximum. If the spots still
don't show up, check the Bandplan settings using the [Setup] button at the
bottom.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I tried a test, self spotting myself on 10m to see what would happen.
Much to my surprise, Win-Test displayed a pop-up window that said "Self
spotting is strongly discouraged by the contest sponsors!" Then when I
pressed [OK], Win-Test exited completely! Apparently Win-Test drops the
guillotine for such crimes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Somewhat shaken, I restarted the program, spotted NX5M on 10m manually,
and the spot showed up OK in the Announce Window, so try SH/DX now if you're
awake, and you should see it OK.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But don't ever try to self spot with Win-Test! :-)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>73,</DIV>
