Hi Jeff,
I don't normally use the double spaces but the WPX is a big one, band
conditions were very good and the crowd showed up. I've played in all
of RTTY contests in the last few months and this is the first one I
encountered rough print due to crowded conditions and I even have a
tight rig. I used WriteLog for about a year and recently switched to
N1MM. There are a lot of things I like about both and some things I
don't like about both but I'm just more relaxed when under the gun using
N1MM, so it's more fun.
I see your suggestion for a call is in the format for WriteLog. I think
that'll assist software requirements and and crowded conditions. Thanks
for the suggestion.
73,
