There is a program called qrate that will calculate this for you.  You can
find it at http://www.k1ea.com/utilities/index.htm (about half way down the
page).  When you run qrate.exe it will expand into several files - one of
them is rate.exe.

It needs a flat ASCII file of your log with the info in columns.  You can
generate this by going into WL and doing a Save As "ASCII with no formatting
by time."

Run rate.exe (it has some command line switches that need to be specified).
Mine looked like this:

rate junk.txt dump.txt 8

where junk.txt is the name of my ASCII file, dump.txt is a file for the
results, and 8 is the column the 4-digit time is in.

The output is pretty cool in that you can immediately see your best minute,
best 10 minutes, and best hour of rate.  Always good for bragging!

Randy, K5ZD
