Good Luck John!
I'd be glad to give you WriteLog tips but although I own it, I've never
used it in a contest. TRLog is my logging program of choice. Gary, K9AY
is the most knowledgeable person I know who uses WriteLog consistently but
there may be others. I know your time is running out, but you might take a
look here for a good overview of operating the
program: http://www.k9jy.com/ Especially look at "Operating a Contest" -
"Contest tools."
I worked PJ2/K8MFO last week. He had a terrific signal up here as you
might expect.
Have fun and be safe.
