It's enough work for alot of the smaller operations getting a few radios
together and some antennas and driving seven hours to the ocean for this
contest. Having to fight with serial numbers just plain sucks. Well the
run and multplier serial numbers. We shouldn't have to write our own
software too!

That being said, anyone have any open source contest software that runs on linux?
