[SD-User] IOTA.lst

Sun Jul 31 11:35:54 EDT 2016

Hello All,

I have just tested Paul's info on how to load iota.lst and confirm that 
it works ok.

The problem seems to be that if you load it from the original link he 
gave it has no line feed after every entry when you have saved it even 
if you save it as iota.lst. ie it looks like FR4PV AF016IH9YMC AF018 etc 
as opposed to

FR4PV AF016

IH9YMC AF018

etc

If you follow Paul's instructions i.e. ctrl-A, ctrl-V, Ctrl-C etc it works.

73, Geoff, G4AFJ,
