[UK-CONTEST] IOTA Multi-Op Logging Software

Hi Jim et al

We're hoping to give our newly-issued ZL1V contest callsign an airing in
IOTA 2004, so are thinking about the same problem as you.  We used Writelog
recently at the ZL6QH Multi-multi, and it worked very well, but of course in
the WPX contests you are issuing separate serial numbers per band for a M/M,
which WL handles very well.

IOTA is a different matter, and as far as I know there is NO current logging
software which is 100% accurate in issuing sequential serial numbers via a
network. I'm sure NA users will claim this, but my experience with various
different software packages has always shown some problem or other - often
to do with buffering of numbers on 1 PC while waiting.

Another problem is that IOTA is not a U.S. contest, so Writelog may not
support it 100% - you don't want to find this out during the event !
