This fixes a problem with USA callsign exceptions.  There was a recent
change to some of the FCC database files.  My software assumed that
data records in those files were in chronological order, but that no
longer seems to be true.  This caused a problem with callsigns that
had been reissued at any time in the past -- sometimes the software
would use an old QTH instead of the new (current) one.  I fixed my
software to not make those assumptions.  I apologize for any needless
distraction that this problem caused.

 Hello,

The EUHF Contest rules have been recently amended and now include the
following rule:

qt
--

Self-spotting is permitted in all categories.
i. Self-spotting is defined as the submission of a participant?s own
contest callsign and/or operating
frequency to any public QSO alerting system. Using any callsign or account
other than the
participant?s official contest callsign for self-spotting is forbidden.
Violations are subject to the
penalties outlined in Rule 14.b.

unqt
--

The current Win-Test version does not accept this new rule. In an attempt
to self-spot the application returns with the message * Self-spotting is
strongly discouraged contest ethics *and closes itself down.

Please modify the EUHF module so that it would allow self-spotting.

Thanks,

Alex, EW2A

Subject: [WT-support] Contest Recorder error
Message-ID: <31a99b28-118c-439d-ae33-29b3291c5a54@dl1mgb.com>

Hi,

I try to get audio recording running.

Station #1
Windows 11
IC-7610
WT 4.59

Everything works with the Win11 built in MP3 codec from Fraunhofer.


Station #2
Windows 11
Flex-6600
WT 4.59

Error message in contest recorder:

MP3 error
Error 2

No matter if built-in Fraunhofer codec or LAME codec. No matter which audio source you select. Also tried fix script which is available from Win-Test download directory.

Interestingly, DXLog on the same computer has no problems with audio recording the DAX RX1 stream from Flexradio. OK, it uses also a different codec which is located in the DXLog directory.

I already installed again Win-Test 4.59, no change.

I don't have no more ideas other than installing all the sh... from scratch (I won't do that...).

Hi,

I try to get audio recording running.

Station #1
Windows 11
IC-7610
WT 4.59

Everything works with the Win11 built in MP3 codec from Fraunhofer.


Station #2
Windows 11
Flex-6600
WT 4.59

Error message in contest recorder as shown. No matter if built-in Fraunhofer codec or LAME codec. No matter which audio source you select. Also tried fix script which is available from Win-Test download directory.

Interestingly, DXLog on the same computer has no problems with audio recording the DAX RX1 stream from Flexradio. OK, it uses also a different codec which is located in the DXLog directory.

I already installed again Win-Test 4.59, no change.

I don't have no more ideas other than installing all the sh... from scratch (I won't do that...).

Try other MP3 settings.

I usually use Mono / 8 ksps sample rate / 16 kbps bit rate

I just tried on my Win11 box and it works (famous words).

I use the Fraunhofer codec, enabled with the "fraunhofer fix" 
https://download.win-test.com/utils/fraunhofer_codec_fix.zip  - Ensure 
you run the fix in an administrator command line.

After testing tons of things the way to the solution couldn't be easier...

Just dumped the old wt4 file (actually I deleted the whole folder) and created a new log.

Now it works smooth.
