[600MRG] WSQ QSO's at KU4XR 3-31-18

[Dick Bingham]

Greetings all !

I just sent the following message to Neil explaining my puzzlement about
WSQCALL issues.


Any ideas what may have happened ? I am using a DELL Latitude E6510 laptop
computer
and win-7 SW.

Well, it looks like something is messed up here. I closed the *WSQCal v
1.20* program and a bit later I tried to restart the program only to
discover it was GONE! I looked at the contents of what was in the
*C:\\Radio\wsqcall1.20* folder and found the application-file for the
WSQCALL was missing.

I accessed the original downloaded/zipped-file to reinstall the single
missing application software file but had no success. Each time I tried
there was a momentary message saying the security SW did something.

I deleted all residue of the remaining WSQCALL v-1.20 software and tried
downloading another copy and observed a message at the bottom of the screen
saying *WSQCALv1.20.zip failed - virus detected*

Looks like I am shut-down until an explanation of what is happening is
found ! The little fire-of-excitement lit by yours and others emails about
WSQCALL activity has been extinguished by the 'fates'.
