erikbrockoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 36af4340cf Add settings to minimize and raise the windows together
Both are checkboxes in Manage Skins, Colors and Fonts and default to on.
The entry window minimizes and restores the other windows with itself.
Activating any window raises the others that are not minimized.

erikbrockoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 ab81476e27 Show tool windows without an owner so they can go behind the entry window
An owned window is transient-for its owner on X11, so the window manager
kept every tool window above the entry window. The windows now have no
owner. The entry window closes them when it closes, and minimizes or
restores them when its own state changes.

erikbrockoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 209c557112 Skip Run QSOs on the bandmap and refocus the callsign box after Alt+W
A QSO logged in Run mode is no longer added to the bandmap as a local
spot, including when recent contacts are re-spotted at startup.

Releasing Alt moves focus to the menu bar. Alt+W now sets a flag, and
the Alt key-up handler puts focus back on the callsign box.

erikbrockoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 d22787fb66 Rework the telnet window's cluster favourites and login tabs
Favourites show the callsign in bold, the address and the sysop's note,
and each keeps its own password, commands, logon call and note. Clicking
one fills the boxes for editing. Autoconnect marks the favourite to
connect to at start and replaces the old reconnect-to-last-node setting.
A new published list refreshes the notes of the favourites in it. The
published list now spans the window, and the Spot comment tab becomes
Login & Spots with the logon call and keep-alive.

A contest opening and contacts arriving from the other stations, a

With a call in the entry window, a move of more than 2 kHz on the same
band puts the call on the bandmap where it was heard and wipes the boxes,
as N1MM does. The spot goes to the other stations as ADDSPOT and to the
Spots broadcast, never to the cluster. ADDSPOT from other stations is
added to the bandmap.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 b5043506ae Fill in the macros from N1MM's function key page
Going down N1MM's published list, the ones a contest operator would miss:

| | |
|---|---|
| `{LASTEXCH}` | what the last station sent, built from the boxes the contest asks for |
| `{ROVERQTH}` | where a rover is now |
| `{TIME}`, `{DATE}`, `{TIMEGMT}`, `{DATEGMT}` | the clock and the calendar |
| `{ESC}`, `{CTRL-A}` to `{CTRL-Z}` | the control characters a TNC reads as commands |
| `{CTRLHOME}` | the cursor back in the callsign box |
| `{F1}` to `{F12}` | another of this radio's keys, where `{CTRLF1}` is the other radio's |
| `{CQ}` | makes any key a CQ key: it starts running and carries alternating CQ on |
| `{DIGQTCS}`, `{DIGQTCR}` | opens the WAE QTC window the way asked for |
| `{CLEARRIT}` | the receive offset back to zero, which is rigctld's `J 0` |
| `{FORCELOG}` | logs what is in the boxes, holes and all |

`{FORCELOG}` is the one that gives something up. `LogContact` refuses an entry
that is short or holds a value the contest will not take, so that a caller who
has not checked cannot log nonsense; `LogContactAnyway` is the way past it,
because a contact in the log with a hole in it can be filled in afterwards and
one that was never logged cannot. It still needs a callsign, and the status
line says the row will need fixing before the log goes in.

A key that names itself would send for ever, so a key sending another key
ignores the macro a second time down.

What is still passed over is written down in the README and unfinished.md.
Advanced voicing is the one that matters: N1MM says a callsign or a serial by
playing a recording per letter out of `LettersFiles`, which is why `!` and `#`
say nothing on phone here and why F5 is empty in N1MM's own SSB file too. The
three packet BBS date formats are passed over because there is nothing here to
check a guess at them against.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 31ad6fb192 Record a message with Ctrl+Shift+F, and open the editor with Alt+K
N1MM records a phone message from the entry window: Ctrl+Shift+F1 to
Ctrl+Shift+F12 records into the file that key plays, and the same pair again
stops and saves it. Escape and sending anything stop one too — there is one
microphone, and it cannot be recorded and transmitted at the same time. The
status line says what is being recorded and what was saved, which is where
N1MM says it.

The recording being made is the session's rather than the window's, for the
same reason: the voice keyer window and these keys record into the same
microphone, and now each can see what the other started.

Alt+K opens the function key editor for the mode the radio is on, which is
N1MM's shortcut for what right-clicking a key button already did.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 082fa75a40 Play a recording on phone, and record it in a window
A phone function key names a wav file instead of words, which is what N1MM's
own SSB file holds: `F1 CQ,{WAVDIR}\Cq.wav`. `{WAVDIR}` is the folder named
after whoever is at the microphone, a name is taken relative to `Wav`, and
commas play several files in a row. An SSB `.mc` file written for N1MM plays
here.

Window ▸ Voice Keyer lists every recording the messages name, says which of
them are there for the operator picked at the top, plays one, and records over
one. The recording is written beside the wanted file and moved over it at the
end, so a recorder that will not start takes nothing away.

`CommandSoundCard` runs `aplay` and `arecord`, and both commands are settings:
the audio path belongs to whatever the station runs, and a library would pick
one of them for the operator. A recorder is stopped with an interrupt so it
closes its wav file, and killed only if it ignores that. PTT is cwdaemon's
`<ESC>a` for as long as the recording plays, off for a station on VOX.

Two things follow. The QTC window sends on SSB: N1MM's four recordings on the
Ready, Agn, Cfm and Close buttons, with the lines still read out by the
operator. And alternating CQ duels on phone, because the voice keyer says when
a recording has finished — which it had to, since the CQ message is picked by
the radio's mode and would otherwise have been keyed as Morse.

Nothing here has been played on a radio: this machine has no sound card, so
what is tested is the program being run, the file filled in, the exit code and
the interrupt, with shell commands standing in for the two.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 211298e04c Let the walk and the completeness check read one rule
A box the walk between the entry boxes steps over cannot be typed in, so it
must not hold the contact back either. `EntryFields.IsComplete` counted every
box marked required, while `MoveFocus` stepped over the ones the contest does
not ask this station for, so a contest with a box for some stations only
could lock the operator out of his own log.

The seven contests the scoring audit named do not do that any more —
`bae40bb` gave each of them the boxes N1MM shows, and fifteen reproductions
across all seven and both station types log cleanly — but the rule they broke
was still there to break again. Completeness now takes the same
applicability rule the cursor uses, and `OperatingPosition` answers it in one
place for the entry window, the ESM window and logging alike.

The audit is marked up for the three findings that are already fixed and for
item 14, which turns out to be what N1MM does rather than a fault.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 2079bf3f59 Paint a WAE station by the traffic left with it, as N1MM does
N1MM has four colours for a station in WAE rather than the usual three, and
the manual and the RTTY tutorial both spell them out. Red is a new
multiplier, as everywhere else. Green is a new station with QTC traffic
still to exchange, which takes the more-than-one-multiplier colour because
WAE has no second multiplier to use it. Black is a station already worked
that still has traffic left — worth working for the QTC points alone — and
it is a colour of its own, N1MM's "Color of a QTC callsign in the WAE
contest". Grey is a dupe with nothing left, the same as in other contests.

The verdict carries how much traffic is left with the station, so the
callsign box, the check window, the bandmap and everything else that colours
a station say the same thing. The contest works the number out: ten with a
station on the other side of the contest, none with one on our own
continent, and none once the ten have gone. Every other contest answers
nought. The log counts the QTC rows per station as they are indexed rather
than counting them again for each station judged, because the bandmap judges
every spot it holds on every pass.

The verdict line says it in words as well, so a dupe reads `dupe · 7 QTCs
left` rather than `dupe`.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 f24cab0ae5 Work QTC traffic on RTTY the way N1MM does
The QTC window put nothing on the air on RTTY except the lines themselves,
so the operator typed the rest into the digital window's transmit pane and
copied the lines by hand. N1MM sends a message for each step and fills the
lines in from a click. Both are here now, with N1MM's messages, N1MM's
defaults and N1MM's settings behind them.

The messages, all of them settings in the QTC window's setup area:

- RX Ready, `WAERXReadyText`, `{ENTERLF}I AM QRV BK`
- All Agn, `WAEAllAgnText`, `{ENTERLF}ALL AGN ALL AGN BK`
- Agn n, `WAEAGNText`, `{ENTERLF}AGN QTC: $ $ $ `, where `$` is the line
- Save, `WAESaveQTCText`, `{ENTERLF}R R R ALL OK BK`
- R U QRV, `WAERUQRVText`, `{ENTERLF}R U QRV BK`
- Save, reading traffic out, `WAESSaveQTCText`, `{ENTERLF}GL DE {MYCALL}`

Each keys the transmitter, sends the text and drops it again, and an empty
one sends nothing. The line spacing default is N1MM's `{ENTERLF}` rather
than `{ENTER}`, which was wrong.

The buttons: R U QRV and Snd Hdr were hidden while reading traffic out on
RTTY, though that is where N1MM starts — R U QRV is the first button
pressed. All Agn is new, and so is the S button on each line, which strikes
a line through a QTC that arrived too broken to read so the rows after it
keep their places; Agn n clears the strike and asks for that line again.

Clicking a line in the digital window fills the next row, which is how the
series is copied on RTTY: the other station sends the header and all ten
lines in one transmission. A click anywhere in a line hands the whole line
to the QTC window, which reads the time, the callsign and the serial number
out of it by shape and flashes the line to show it was taken. A line that is
not a QTC is left to mean what a click always means there.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 0d9b4a713e Export WAE QTC traffic to ADIF, and read it back
ADIF has no record for QTC traffic, which is why N1MM leaves it out and why
a WAE log cannot be moved between databases as ADIF. The plain export now
writes the contacts alone, as N1MM does: it used to write the QTC rows as
contacts, with the time of the traffic in RST_SENT and the reported callsign
in RST_RCVD.

File > Export > Export ADIF with QTC traffic writes the whole log instead.
A QTC row goes out with the station, time, band and mode, and the traffic in
application-defined fields — APP_NONEMM_QTC and friends, the prefix the ADIF
specification keeps for a program's own data — with the line in the comment
as well so the file can be read without this program. The report columns are
left off that record, because on a QTC row they hold the time and callsign
of the contact being reported. Reading such a file back rebuilds the rows,
so a WAE log survives the round trip whole. The item is only in the menu for
a contest with traffic.

Another program reading that file sees each QTC row as an ordinary contact
with the station the traffic was exchanged with and ignores the extra
fields. There is no way around that in ADIF, which is why the plain export
is still the one to hand over.

Contacts now also carry their row kind in APP_NONEMM_EXCHANGE1. Without it
a WAE log read back holds contacts with no kind at all, which N1MM's own
queries do not find.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 c686a86dcc Log the contact when Ctrl+Z opens the QTC window, ESM or not
Ctrl+Z logged the contact by calling the Enter handler. With ESM switched
on, Enter sends the next message of the contact instead of logging it, so
the QTC window opened over an unlogged contact and the traffic went into the
log in front of the contact it belongs to.

It now calls LogContact, which is what N1MM calls at the same point. A
station already worked is logged again as a dupe, worth no points, which is
what the WAE rules expect: the second contact does not count but the traffic
does.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 3e326053a0 Say how many QTCs are left with the station being worked
WAE gives a point for every QTC line, so an operator needs to know what is
still there to exchange. The entry window now carries N1MM's QTCinfo line in
WAE: how many QTC lines have already gone with the station in the callsign
box, how many more may go, and how many contacts are left to report to
anybody. The QTC window shows the same line.

The numbers come from the log rows, the way N1MM works them out:

- exchanged is every QTC row with that call, both directions and all bands,
  and ten is the lot
- available is every contact not reported to anybody yet, without the dupes
  and without the station itself, which is N1MM's QTCRecordsetCount
- what is left with the station is what is free of its ten, and no more than
  the contacts there are to report when we are the one reporting

Europe on CW and SSB only takes traffic down, so its line leaves the last
number out, as N1MM's does.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 00bbb0e6b3 Mark the picked line in the log only while the window is in front
A marked line in a window behind says nothing about where the keyboard
is. The log takes the marks off as another window is activated and puts
them back when it comes forward; the contacts stay picked in between, so
"Change Operator…" and Delete still act on what the operator picked.

The frame around the cell the keyboard is on goes with them. The theme
draws that frame with a rectangle inside the cell, not with the cell's
own border, so it takes a style on the template.

Quick edit moves the picked line: Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+A step through the log
from the entry window, and the contact in the entry boxes is the picked
line here and is scrolled to.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 606c43e4a6 Take half the room either side of the text in a log cell
The values sit closer to the line between the columns, and a column that
is as wide as its values is fifteen pixels narrower.

A header takes much more room besides its text than a cell does — its
own padding, and the room the theme keeps for the sort arrow — so the
two are now measured with an allowance each. One allowance for both
clipped "Mode" and "CQ-Zone" to the column width the values needed.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 836624376e Change the operator of the contacts picked in the log
A multi-operator station logs a whole shift under whoever was at the
radio, so a shift logged under the wrong callsign had to be put right a
contact at a time. "Change Operator…" in the log's right-click menu asks
for one callsign and writes it against every contact picked in the grid.

The dialog offers the operators the program already knows in a drop-down
and takes any other callsign typed.

erikbrockoandClaude Opus 5 56c7bcef21 Fit more of the log on screen and edit a cell without fighting it
The theme gave each cell 32 pixels of height, which fits about seven
contacts in the window. A row is now as tall as its text and one pixel
either side, so about fifteen fit.

Editing a cell:

- the columns bind one way, and the value is written back when the edit
  is taken, on Enter or a click elsewhere. A two-way binding wrote on
  every key press, which took the edit as the first character was typed
  and closed the box.
- Enter on the current cell opens the box. The handler runs before the
  grid's own, which reads Enter as "move down a line".
- Left, Right, Home and End stay in the box. The grid read a key the box
  left alone as "go to the next cell", and the box leaves a key alone
  when the caret cannot move; End also landed at the start of the text.
- the box takes the height and the left inset of the text it covers, so
  nothing moves as it opens.

An edit no longer rebuilds the list. The lines on screen are given the
contact again, so the view stays where the operator put it instead of
jumping to the top and back.
