Hi Ed:

How am I supposed to create an audio file or CD?  Lug along yet ANOTHER 
computer,
jack it into my SO2R setup, try to balance recording levels, make sure IT 
doesn't crash
during the contest, burn the CD, make sure it's OK, mail it somewhere...too much
trouble by far.  I don't know if trying to record will have subtle effects on 
the Windows
logging programs (stutters in CW perhaps), but I'm basically positive I can't 
manage it
on the DOS ones.  :-)

I'm far too lazy to want to take this on and I certainly don't want to lug 
ANOTHER computer
around just to do this, especially to Canada or the Caribbean.  Not having a 
station
at my house, I have more than enough stuff to lug around and worry about.

73,

Mark, KD4D
