[Skimmertalk] RigSync THANK YOU!

[Mack]

Ed and list,

I'd like to pass along my thanks to Ed for a great piece of software. I used 
it for about 24 hours of the CQWW CW contest this weekend and it worked 
exactly as Ed describes below. It was great to be able to have spots and 
stations worked populated (in color) between CWSkimmer and WriteLog.

Thank you Ed!

73,

Mack
