i used writelog for the first time this past weekend at the W4MYA M/M, and was 
pretty impressed.  i didn't like that i had to actually 'save' the log every 
now and then -- and i have no idea about the issues jeff is bringing up -- but 
there were some features (like the needed multiplier window) that was really 
handy.  plus, the CT/MM commands translated pretty seamlessly.

however, for now, i'm sticking with 'MM.  the price is right and it does a heck 
of a lot.  but i can see moving to writelog in the future.

see you all on 160 this coming weekend!

73 / robin / k4vu
on the farm in VA

(btw, the final score at W4MYA was something on the order of 8 mil, but i'm 
still waiting for a final total from bob).

If Writelog is such a great program was is everyone trying to figure out how to 
do this and that all the time ????  When I used it at WW4LL for the CW Sprint 
it didn't even create the Cabrillo file correctly. That seems to be something 
basic that should work all the time. I am sticking with NA until they work out 
all the bugs with these Windows based programs....
