[MacLoggerContest] Contest Panel Question

[David Kaplan]

Hi again,

You are right (of course), and I was a bit confuzzled when I mentioned  
persistent between program sessions...
I should have been referring to between Call lookups (even though I DO  
know the difference!)

Between CALL lookups the fields I mentioned persist in V4, and  
disappear in V5.
Also the Cmd-K does NOT clear them in V4 and does in V5.

That said, upon thinking about it, I agree with 99% of your changes...  
lose them all between program sessions is fine since serials change  
and so should Rcvd field, but should the Sent field remain between  
Call Lookups and Cmd-K usage? I will usually send 59 CT (or whatever).  
Let's not discuss the 59 sent in contests in this forum! However,  
shouldn't the Sent field remain for the contest?

Thanks,

David, WA1OUI

Correct this is also how V4 works.

Correct.

What about SN received (string and numeric)  ?

Why not clear them - they change with every exchange.
SN sent numeric is often auto incremented so you don't clear that.
That only leaves sn sent string.

No V4 does not remember srx or stxstring or numeric  between sessions,  
just rst s, rst r and power.
