All,

Well, I came back from 7 days of traveling and found over 200 messages on
WriteLog on the reflector. This is a very good thing - people must be buying
it since many of them are new user questions and people must be learning
about it because they are pushing features like six band map windows!

May I make a suggestion?

Many, many notes here to the reflector relate to set up of the software.
Most of those (not radio and TNC setup) can be answered by going to my web
site at http://www.k9jy.com. If you are new, start with 'Setting up You.'
When that part is done, go to 'Operating a Contest.' And when that's done,
go to 'Post Contest'(still some work to do there). If you are at least
familiar with the site, you can really help yourself as you learn the
software.

If you are experienced with the program, I suggest looking at the 'WriteLog
Windows' section to see the interesting little things that can be done with
the program that can really help.

And, no, I don't have anything on setting up six band map windows (what a
great way to look at the entire contest).

Anyway, save yourself some frustration - check out the site.

CU...Scot, K9JY

PS Since Wayne is making the program a work in progress, so's the web site.
We're all learning more about how to use the program. And we're all using it
many different ways.
