FYI all - the RTTY Roundup rules now officially include FT8 as an allowed
mode, and they added a new rule (7.4 I think) to clarify which FT8 is
allowed and how it affects your Unlimited status.
I haven't yet tried to run Writelog and WSJT at the same time but I expect
it won't go well, because they both want to run the radio.
