I agree fully.
And come on guys, at $30/year this software is probably one of the cheapest
parts of your contest setup and relative to the use it gets, the single best
value around. What did your radio cost? What about your amp? Your tower?
Your antennas? Your coax? Your PC? Heck, what do you think your power bill
is for a year? And I am not even going to try to get the QSL card thread
going.
And Jim -- thanks to you for your continued work the country files. Greatly
appreciated and little recognized.
