[RTTY] QTCs and WriteLog

[Jerry Pixton]

Jon et al,

I second that.  I played once in WAE just when I had switched to WriteLog 
and was still using my old software. And never got back to it (no fun).

This year I needed to check out my newest station setup - after getting my 
FT1000mp fixed and back, I swapped position of the radios because the 
tuning knobs were making my arms tired after a few hours. So now every 
thing that was "right" is now "left" etc. Thought this might lead to some 
pilot errors (which it did, like FSK was reversed on FT1000mp after factory 
reset of all menu items and I usually run on AFSK except during contests).

So I set a goal to work at least 100 Q (to see how every thing went) and to 
not leave any QTCs unsent and to receive all QTCs offered. Which I did. 
Found lots of little things to clean up (like a stub for 3rd harmonic of 
40m, 15m seemed open early while 40m still in there) before Tara time. 
QTC's were a snap and lots of fun. Only put in 7 hours due to other 
commitments and fixing problems as time allowed.

See you in Tara
