I'm made some progress in learning to use Writelog and also setting up the 
soundblaster for SSB.  
Scott's FB webpage states that he has not had much luck with using the %C to 
send calls.  I'm having pretty good luck, but it's taken me two or three 
tries at each letter and numeral.  
I access the Sound Recorder on Windows 98 by going to 
Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder.  
Using either the built in laptop mic or an outboard mic I must click the 
circle red  to record, immediately say the letter or numeral, and immediately 
click the black square to stop recording.  Every multisecond that the sound 
recorder is recording before and after you say the letter/numeral adds those 
multiseconds to the spacing between characters in the call.  With my 233 MHz 
computer, I can get the letter spacing fairly close, not as close as when I 
normally say a call, but close enough for contesting, about 3 1/2 seconds for 
most calls.  I think by redoing the "slow" characters I could take another 
half second off.  Perhaps a faster computer would also reduce the spacing 
time?
What has been your experience?
