[CQ-Contest] Does the KCDXC still do the pileup contest at Dayton?

[Pete Smith]

Dave is right for the 3KHz mode - it just takes straight audio, either 
through a microphone or from a sound card connected to your radio's line 
out jack.

Bewing reminded of that, I downloaded the KCDXC 1999 pileup file from their 
web site.  I attempted to play it back through Skimmer, but each time I 
started the playback and started Skimmer, I got errors - in the case of my 
M-Audio Revolution soundcard, it was error 1169, while when I tried the 
Audio CODEC in my MIK2R+, I got a 1450 error.  Either way, no results.  I'd 
love to do the experiment, if someone out there can help me get it going.
