Re: [TenTec] Ad in AES Catalog...

["Bill Rowlett" <kc4atu@hotmail.com>]

I must agree with you, I do not own a packet setup and there is no internet 
connection in the shack. I use the old ears to find the DX, it is what makes 
it fun.

I was in the retail side of this hobby back in the early 90's and heard of 
several contesting sofeware packages  which ran in full auto mode. Called 
CQ, answered calls, log the calls, and at the end of the 24 or 48 hr period, 
it ran the totals and printed the hard copy to be mailed in. You could have 
bought a new care for the same price as the software though.

Bach to the old cans and a good tune across the bands.
