Haven't seen much discussion about the QST Radiosport issue -- a subject that should be top of mind for the people who inhabit this list. I thought it was very well done. The article on the history o
Remember, it is a computer doing the log checking. Good chance that the programmer never thought of 1KILO as being one possible input. Especially for a field that is supposed to contain a number... I
