Hi Tom,

That's really great news!  I've also sent a description of the problem to
Scott, really so he can just bare it in mind, should the issue arise for
someone else.  I know his rewrite project is scheduled to continue into
2014, and I think our best hope for a permanent solution lies in this
<smile>.

Good luck in the PA QSO Party.  Any idea what callsign you'll be using, and
if you'll be on SSB or CW?

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Kelvin:

Your assessment of my problem with the N3FJP wave files and version 2.3 of 
the Pennsylvania QSO Party logging software was right on the money.

I downloaded  the old wave files for A C Log version 3.2 from the Active 
Elements web site, and copied them into the Program Files folder for version

2.3 of the Pennsylvania QSO Party logging software, and the wave files now 
all speak.

So, obviously, there is some sort of incompatibility between Scott's newer 
Wave files, and older versions of his software that he has not yet put into 
the new C # format.

I'm not quite sure what to do about this issue in the long run, but it at 
least solves my immediate dilemma for this week-end's contest.

I wonder if this is something you would be interested in bringing up to 
Scott, now that we have uncovered the incompatibility issue?

I suspect you could do a much better and informed job on letting him know 
what the issue is than I can do at this point.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot this issue.
