[CQ-Contest] CT is King

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Well, at some point the old 386's start to die... so last year I upgraded to
all win xp machines with wireless networking, rigblasters, and n1mm logger
for the m/m and so2r setups here.  It does f-keys like ct, has an 'enter
sends message' mode like tr, networks better than ct(dos or win) or wl, and
the latest version makes so2r audio switching hardware obsolete by doing
both mic and headphone audio switching with soundcards... $5 so2r!  and the
program is free and has excellent support from a group of programmers and
large user community worldwide.
