Victor,
Again, Thanks for your feedback/update - and for efforts in creating a tool
that can be used by everyone and also for more regional contests.
Keep up the good work. Very much appreciated. A pity Canada Day and Marconi
collide this year, but will try to give you guys some points as well.
73! Mats, RM2D
