1) Certain Russian Federation callsigns (RG5A, RM5A, and RT5G) were<br>
displayed in the CHECKCALL ERROR color. I downloaded and installed the<br>
V4.5.1 Update, and then the V4.6.0 DEV nightly update version before the<br>
Contest. I also downloaded the latest CTY_WT_MOD.DAT file via the<br>
OPTIONS-DATA FILES-COUNTRY FILES mechanism. Do I need to update some other<br>
file??</blockquote><div><br>Yes, you need to download an updated callsign.pat file, which should be saved in the /extras directory. The last update was July 4th, 2010, and it includes new patterns for all of the callsigns mentioned.<br>
<br>It looks like someone forgot to include the new callsign.pat file in the Win-Test 4.5.1 "full" distribution, as well as the others. Hopefully they will correct that in the next release (WT 4.6.0).<br><br>Once you update the callsign.pat file, you will need to restart Win-Test (or run REOPENNOW) before it will be used.<br>
<br>You can download the latest callsign.pat from <a href="http://download.win-test.com/files/extra/callsign.pat">here</a>.<br><br>More info. on <a href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Callsign_check">this Wiki page</a>.<br>

2) Because of my puny signal, I waited to send QTC to several strong<br>
stations that I had already QSO'ed. I was uncertain how to make certain<br>
that this stations callsign was associated with the QTC Group. I ended up<br>
logging their calls with a Serial Number of "000". The QTC sent and the<br>
Callsign of the Recipient are correct in my Cabrillo, but the Group Numbers<br>
are very screwy. How should this situation (sending QTC to a station<br>
already in the log) be handled next year?<br></blockquote><div><br>Just enter the EU callsign in the logging window again, and press Ctrl-L to send the second or third set of QTCs. They will be numbered correctly (Win-Test remembers and displays all the prior QTCs already sent to that station). When you are finished sending the second or third set of QTCs, press [+] to close the QTC window. Then hit F11 to erase the callsign; no need to log him again if it is a dupe, since no received serial no. is being received (except for the first QSO).<br>
<br>Maybe you can give an example of the wrong group numbers? Are you seeing that in the Cabrillo file?<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br></div></div>
