First off, thanks to Ed, W0YK/P49X, for allowing us to use his prefill file. It 
can be downloaded here:

http://www.rttycontesting.com/files/p49x-prefill-thru-2014.zip

1. Download the file to a location on your hard drive and unzip it (remember 
where you unzip it to).

2. Open WriteLog and set up for the ARRL RTTY Roundup.

3. Go to the Tools menu and select Preset Exchange from ADI file...

4. Navigate to the location of the file you unzipped (it should be called 
p49x-prefill-thru-2014.ADI)

5. A small window will open that shows QTH, Country and C. Click OK and the 
file will load. After loading, a window will pop up
saying 5223 calls loaded. Click OK. Now when you populate the entry window with 
the callsign of a station in the USA or Canada that
is in the file, the QTH field will populate.

Warning, do not depend on what is populated to be 100%. You must copy the 
report and verify it's correct. There will be some errors
so watch for them.

If you are new to RTTY and will be operating the contest today, I have started 
writing a page on RTTY Contest Messages. It's not
complete, but you can find it here:

http://www.rttycontesting.com/lagniappe/rtty-messages/

Also, if you need help creating your RTTY messages for the contest, you can 
find some examples at the link below but this is an old
page and these messages do not adhere to the rules set forth in the above link, 
but they will work.

I'll be available to answer questions up until about 1600Z, then I will 
probably be shutting email down and concentrating on final
contest preparations.

73 & GL!
Don AA5AU
