[TRLog] CW Keying - No Problem

[robert c reisenweber]

Hi Wilf,

Just tried it with this computer (486 with Windows 95) and disabling the
com port didn't help.  I still have to boot up in DOS and then everything
seems to work just fine.  No problem with rebooting and guess if I'm
going to work a contest, then the computer should be configured for the
contest too!..Hi.

Thanks for the suggestion though, and many, many thanks for the 15 meter
CW contact during the RAC test!
