Hello, users of WriteLog!

But............ Minimum configuration.
I use WriteLog in their minimum expression.
A single computer, a sound card, a radio (about to explode!).
Never use packetcluster. Some aluminum and patience.
Achieving good results, with simple configurations.

Welcome the new users of WriteLog!

.......... pertinent, My best tuning display for RTTY-PSK is my "ears".
