Well, my ears are currently capable of about 7 wpm while my 232 can do
around 50 plus.... I am trying to get re-interested in this mode and
intend to use the 232 to "re-educate" myself. I have so far made about
40 contacts using my contest call VK4WPX, all with another contesting
program.
I hope that I have been a multiplier for some.
I think I have worked out how I might be able get the 232 to operate with
WriteLog... I need to be able to send a command to the tnc while using
Rttyrite but cannot find how to do this.........
Can anyone help with this one ???
