[CQ-Contest] FD Software and Networking?

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

Also,

1) The ability to chat (great for those overnight 
hours when only the operators are awake and nobody's 
sure that anyone is manning the generators as well as 
for other less-serious reasons).

2) The entire operations' log is on all machines (good 
for backup purposes).

3) Thanks to number 2, the convenience of seeing the 
total score on any given machine.
