For any WriteLog users in the Houston area, Wayne will be speaking at the

TDXS September 8 Meeting Announcement
The September TDXS meeting will feature Wayne Wright, W5XD, presenting
"Contesting and Station Automation".
All interested in learning more about DXing or contesting are invited to
attend!
Wayne will talk about how contest logging software automates your station
operation, not only logging QSOs and transmitting exchanges, but how routing
your station audio through your sound card enables
your PC to control things like two radios at once, and receive CW. Your
contest software also automates post-contest operations like sending your
log to the contest sponsor, and posting your log to Logbook of the World.
