Officially today, I've acquired the domain rttycontesting.com and have totally revamped the old AA5AU WriteLog Website. It's still the same site which a much needed facelift. It's still dedicated to

On 3 separate occasions during the Roundup, when I pressed an F key, the transmitter would key up, then drop. I didn't want to close the program right away and was thinking what I should do when I tr
