CQWWCW 08 notes
Posted: Mon 29. Dec 2008, 21:09
So I had a blast working CQWWCW this year and you can check out a short youtube video I shot showing RUMped in action.
First off RUMped worked flawlessly, just awesome when things work
Couple thing I made notes on that I would like to put on the maybe list for the future.
1. Would be great if there was an "Auto Populate Bandmap" option so as you tune around the band (unassisted) and type a call into the call field it would automatically populate the bandmap with that call. This would be very useful in the unassisted category when no packet is used.
2. When auto CQ is running, the delay is very short between CQ's when running at higher code speeds, I was running anywhere between 30 and 40WPM and the delay was very short even when the setting was at max.
3. While in auto-CQ mode I would like to be able to hit any key to stop the auto-CQ.
4. The addition of ESM (Enter Send Message)
From N1MM website:
A decade ago, N6TR developed the idea of making TR Log "modal." By that, he meant that the program would behave differently depending on whether you were in Run or S&P mode. Making this distinction let him massively simplify and shorten the sequence of keystrokes required to complete a QSO.

This is a real nice feature, although I think it may be a bit involved to code.
Keep up the great work Tom, much appreciated!
