Setting the DTA file for Super Check Partial - Page 4 of 4

Here is the actual screen shot from my 2002 WPX RTTY log.  To get a good idea of the usefulness of the Super Check Partial tool, let's assume it's late in the contest.  I'm calling CQ and a station comes back to me but I only copy the prefix W0.  As I enter W0 into the Entry Window, the Super Call Partial window shows all combinations of W0 in the DTA file plus those I've worked in either Green or Red text.  If I have a feeling that the station that called me was actually a W0 and not the RW0 station, I can be almost certain that the station was W0LSD.

When I click on W0LSD in the Super Call Partial window to enter that call into the Entry Window, the Check Call window to the right (screen shot below) shows that I have worked W0LSD on 3 other bands.  This almost assures that the station calling is W0LSD.  I go ahead and send my report out to W0LSD.  In most cases, especially at this point in the contest, the station will be W0LSD.  If not, I can always change the callsign in the Entry Window to the correct callsign when he sends his report.

That is the beauty of the Super Call Partial function of WriteLog.  In all my years of experience in RTTY contesting, I can assure you that more times than not, the call you choose from the Super Call Partial window will be the correct call.  I understand that it's hard to realize this unless you have actually seen it hundreds of times but this tool is extremely valuable.
