It seems we could be in the first place world as Multi Multi in the CQWW
Contest SSB,
we wish to thank WriteLog software engineers as this software helped us very
much to
get the approacing 20,000 QSO total.
Our stations were located on vans in a field day style QTH with a lot of RF,
and
bad ground connections.
WriteLog did its job very fine, we used also some WLAN connections and we
had a
great experience.......very important: it was our first contest using WL
!!!!
We have some suggestions about improving the software (super check partial,
info on the
gab window, needed mults not in evidence, etc.). We are sure WriteLog will
be the
standard in the next future among contesters all over the world as it was CT
in the past.
Just needs some minor improvements....

Comments:
It was a big experience ! Seven stations, field day style, seven
towers, ten yagis, two tall verticals for 80 and 160 with hundreds
of radials, dozens of beverages, tons of equipments....
all built in six days and dismantled the day after the contest !
Very good propagation the first day on all bands...except lowers.
Absorbtion problems the second day.
Thanks to all supporters and friends that helped us.
