We tried 80 SSB a while back, but there is no regular on-the-air meeting
place -- I guess this reflector is the best place.

1) Rick, NQ4I is organizing another major M/M effort for CQWW WPX CW.
2) Don't know if there is a Field Day possibility or not.
3) It looks we will have another Georgia QSO Party on July 21-22.
4) We will certainly round up as many teams as possible for the
North American QSO Parties in August (CW and SSB).
5) Then we get into heart of next fall's contest season.

I am a fan of Writelog, but TRlog, NA and CT are also widely used. The
latter three are all DOS-based and can use that old '286 or '386 machine you
have sitting around. Writelog is a Windows program, with all the pros and
cons that brings!
