Hi Jim,
The thread began as a discussion of the MFJ-434 voice keyer, of which I own
one. I mentioned that it's a FB unit but I rarely use it now because my new
computer has essentially replaced it, using WriteLog.
W5GN mentioned that he had some problems with WL on a fast computer. I'm
not sure why he had so much trouble with it, but his was fixed when he went
back to the slower machine. I have had superior behavior from WL on my
1.1GHz Celeron computer, in all modes and functions.
My instinct tells me that a fast CPU speed should be irrelevant, but
obviously, something was awry on his faster machine. Maybe someone else
could shed light on it.

Hi Rick,
The 070 PSK Fest was held Jan 19th. The Spring Homebrewer QRP Sprint (CW &
PSK) was this past weekend on Mar 25th. The TARA PSK Rumble will be held on
April 20th. These are all on the ARRL Contest Calendar web page
(http://www.arrl.org/contests). You will also want to check out the WA7BNM
Contest Calendar at http://www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/ and SM3CER's
Contest Calendar at http://www.sk3bg.se/contest/. If you find contests that
aren't missing from any of these sources, please let the webmasters and
myself know about it!
