I am not sure when WriteLog was first introduced to the public, but I
"think" I first used WriteLog in March 1997 in the BARTG RTTY
Contest. Ron, K5DJ, and I operated Multi-Multi from W5KFT that year
and set a new world record. I'm pretty sure this is when I first used
WriteLog but I'm not 100% sure. I'll try to find out from Ron.
According to the release notes on the WriteLog website
(http://writelog.com/notes/revision-historyversion) version 9.09 was
released on June 25, 1998. Interestingly, this is the exact date that

WriteLog was the first Windows-based contest program that I was aware
of. Previously I was using CT by K1EA for CW contesting and RTTY by
WF1B for RTTY contesting. Both of these programs were DOS-based.
I would be interested in hearing the early history of WriteLog from
Wayne.

Subject: [WriteLog] WriteLog History
Hi all,
I am putting together a club presentation on the history of logging
and other HR automation. Can any of you tell me the year of
introduction of WriteLog? Or at least the first widely distributed
Windows version? Who was the original author?
