I have used TR quite successfully in a DOS Window on my Win89 SE Machine. I
keep the old Pentium 350 w/Windows 98 specifically because it sends CW without
having to buy an expensive external keyer for Writelog and TR and so I can use
TR if I want to.

>> With thanks to those of you who took the time to fill out the survey
>> results for contest software;
>> Here is the link to the results of the survey:

>> http://www.kkn.net/~n2nc/CTU_2007_Logging_Programs/
>>
>>
>> Unfortunately the survey was designed to take text based answers. Big
>mistake.
>> It was very difficult to sort the over 500 responses.
>>
>> Because of this, I included the raw data spreadsheet. The callsigns
>> are omitted to maintain anonymity.
>> You can read the responses and comments directly on the spreadsheet
>> if you have the patience :-).
>>
>> Note:
>> The program choice is in Column D, where:
>> 1= CT
>> 2=TRlog
>> 3=Writelog
>> 4=NA
>> 5=N1MM
>> 6=Wintest
>> 7=SD
>>
>>
>> I also included the Contest University (CTU) PDF presentation given in
>Dayton.
>> It was designed as a primer to introduce new programs to beginners
>> and includes some survey results.
>>
>> I learned some lessons from this experience including never to make a
>> text based survey again!
>> Also, hams are very loyal to their software. Even more so when they
>> are free :-).
>> Additionally, the best operators can adapt to any software in short
>> order. Plus, they use specific packages when they work better for
>> specific contests.
>>
>> Thanks for all the responses.
