I want to use TR for the local club's FD outing this year. We operate 3A =
with a T/N station with about 10 ops, two of whom are TR-compliant. Rigs =
are in trailers around a 250 ft circle with the generators in the =
center. I do CW and most all the others are on phone. LF Antennas are =
hung from the surrounding 150'  trees(!).

I do not see a reasonable way to network these stations.  In the past, =
using CT, we had a separate floppy log for each band. To change bands =
the operator would save and exit CT.  I wrote a .bat file to copy the =
C:log to the old band floppy, instruct the operator to change to the new =
band floppy, merge the new band log info into the C: log file, and then =
restart CT.  It was suitable for the skill level of the ops and =
guaranteed we could not lose any log info.

Since TR does not have an equivalent log merge .exe, how do I get the =
job done?
