Dear Filip
While logging contest calls is perhaps the fundamental application WL, there
are many others that make me a better contester. Examples:New multiplier
recognition, efficient running of two radios and auto logging of their
settings, ability to recognize partial calls, automatically finding antenna
headings, and on and on.
I believe the developers, after long experience as successful contest
operators, chose the development tools that were the best available at the
time to perform the multiple functions that many of us desired(required).
What are you suggesting as an alternative?
Look forward in seeing you in the next contest.
Byron, W3WKR
