[RTTY] WF1B SOFTWARE COMMENT..

[Van K7VS]

WF1B...the good 'ol  days!  I was really shocked when I opened up the 
original revised instruction manual and saw my call used thru the 
instruction manual demonstrating exchanges and soforth.  Boy, those were fun 
days and for the first couple of years his program was my secret weapon!! 
Until others learned about it.    Van K7VS (formally WA7FAB)
