I'm just a qrper when it comes to contesting and using WriteLog, but maybe
it has something to do with the contest chosen as I didn't see the AFC
uncheck problem with the RTTY Roundup but AFC unchecking was happening all
the time with the BARTG RTTY contest. Dunno. I don't understand why that was
happening.
With the latter contest, the AFC box would uncheck itself while transmitting
and then re-check itself during RCV. I thought I was going nuts! Maybe I
need a long nap to restabilize myself.
I'm using version 10.13 in all of the above.
73 and stay warm,
Phil, W9XX
