Hi Mark.
I have been using CTWin for contesting from here at home for several
years. The LPT port keying seems excellent to me. Running XP-Home
on a Dell 2.8 MHz P4.
However, at N3RS, we are relegated to CT-DOS, to enable us to use the
DVPs that we have for each station in our Multi-op setup. It sure
would be nice for Ken to take Dave up on his offer of the software
headstart on a sound card interface for CT. Hint, hint.
