I participated in the 2nd Mock RU and again found a large number of operators starting early. I worked 1 pre-scheduled window and worked 9 more during the scheduled window. I was using v2.0-rc3 as required on a Windows 10 Version 1803. I initialized my wsjt_log.adi prior to making any Qs and had the correct exchange "NJ" entered for the contest. I forgot to clear the Cabrillo file, but I had no previous QSOs in it. I ran 20W to a long-wire as I normally run FT8 mode.
Problem while logging: I noticed that the exchange fields weren't being populated in the Log QSO box and on several occasions I typed them in manually. In both cases, the ADIF file did not contain any exchange information. Both the sent and received exchanges were displayed on the view contest window and appeared in the Cabrillo file generated after the contest. For parts of the test, I tried running JTAlert to my regular log both with and without exchanges filled in and no Exchange fields were passed. I also had the similar results when I ran N1MM+ for a couple of different QSOs and again no exchanges got sent. I saw someone mention that by switching from Tab 2 Messages to Tab 1 Messages that it started working. I always use Tab 1 Messages, so I didn't think to try switching back and forth. Worked B4 and DX coloring:I noticed the CQ coloring did change to Green after I worked domestic stations, but all DX stations are Green whether they have been worked or not. As someone else said with the small number of Qs you can check if you've worked a station, but during a 24-hour contest that would be difficult at best. 73 David KC2WUF
