[CQ-Contest] New shack computer?

[Gerry Hull]

Hi Gary,

Writing you this on a Thinkpad X61 Laptop running Windows 7 64-bit edition,
with 4 GB RAM.  Works perfect for N1MM, etc.  Just be aware that their may
not be 64-bit drivers for everything.  The K3 USB driver works fine, as
does a bunch of other stuff.

73, Gerry W1VE
