[Ron Brown]

It's amazing that this happens when most if not all programs for PSK allow you to create profiles I have a number of them one for chit chat,one for DX, one for contesting,etc in the case of the contest its a quick edit to set up what the exchange is and away we go
In a contest I don't need to know what version of HRD your using... Hihi
