Two class winners used WriteLog in the 2018 RTTY Roundup...
P49X (Single Op HP) and AA5AU (Single Op Unlimited LP)
I don't know about the others.

Nothing like a little data. 2018 RTTY Roundup loggers:
N1MM LOGGER+ 953
WRITELOG 135
MIXW 106
N3FJP 97
N1MM LOGGER 55
QARTEST 44
WIN-TEST 40
CTESTWIN BY JI1AQY 37
WA7BNM WEB2CABRILLO 2.07 30
UCXLOG 24
FLDIGI 22
5MCONTEST 20
N1MM/N1MM+ is 63% of the total. Would be interesting to correlate this with
scores - what do winners use? :) Help me remember to do this for the 2019
writeup...
