Bob, I can bring my usual laptop for the 432 station or if you want to set
two of your laptops up for the microwave and 432 stations that is OK to.
Just let me know.  By the way, what version of Writelog are we going to us?
We need to make sure we are all using the same version.  I was just looking
at the Writelog website and it looks like there were some changes made to
the cabrillo format for VHF contests in version 10.35.  Someone who knows
more about such things needs to look and see if this is a big deal.  I
believe we used version 10.32 last year and unless there is a reason to
upgrade I am happy with just using that again.  Besides it is already
installed and ready to go.
