Ed, K4SB, has created a new FRIEND.INI file containing 24,821
RTTY callsigns and names.  This is a tremendous effort on Ed's part.
He spent literally hundreds of hours writing a program to generate
the file.

The file is now available from my WriteLog website at http://www.geocities.com/writelog.

The file is downloaded as friend.zip.  WriteLog users extract the friend.ini into your 
C:\ham\Programs subdirectory if you are using the default WL location.  For other
programs that use FRIEND.INI refer to the program's instructions.

A big thanks to Ed for this HUGE effort on his part.  I'm waiting on Ed's permission
to add a link to his E-mail address for corrections.  Please do not send corrections
to me.  Check the site later to find out what to do about corrections to the file.

Although I do not use the FRIEND.INI feature in RTTY contesting, I fully
support it's use.  It's not only fun, it's also functional in helping confirm exchanges
during the contest.

Enjoy the file.  Thanks again Ed!

73, Don AA5AU
