Glad to hear your father is doing better. I'm missing that AA5 prefix in my
log! :)

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] WPX RTTY - Hold Shift key & click
I didn't see this mentioned, but if you hold the SHIFT key and click on the
first letter in the group, it will put the correct serial number in the
proper field.
For example, if you receive a report that prints:
TOO RTT RTT
Then hold the SHIFT key and click on the first R in either set of "RTT" and
the number 455 will be automatically placed in the Entry Window. You will
learn that "TOO" is "599", so don't worry about that one because RST is
prefilled in the Entry Window. The group you are concerned about is the next
group after "TOO".
It's very strange not to be pounding the keyboard this weekend. This is the
first WPX RTTY Contest I've missed since it started 18 years ago. I'm in
Indianapolis, visiting my father, George, WB9FAD, who at age 86 was admitted
to the hospital on Monday. I'm happy to say he is stable and I will be
flying back to New Orleans tomorrow. I won't make it back in time to make
any contacts. But that's OK. I guess ya'll will just have to have fun
without me!
