Hi Andy et al

Thanks for the info about TR - we first used CT in 1992 and sort of stuck 
with it, despite its flaky networking it had/has many good features. We 
never really tried TR, going straight to Writelog after CT, but only used WL 
in IOTA once with limited success.  I'm writing a web-page about 'Computer 
networking for contesting' which will appear on the GM7V website soon.

Writelog - a correction to what I said the other day. Matt M0MAT has drawn 
my attention to the 'Check Call' screen in Writelog which seems to display 
the needed information quickly.  See   www.gm7v.com/WLIOTA.htm   for a 
sample screen-shot.  Thanks Matt.

Disqualifications - thanks Keith GM4YXI for correcting me on this - I'm glad 
to hear that a high-profile station has been DQed - this is long overdue - 
my first complaints about this were in 1998 after CQ WW SSB, then again in 
2000 from GZ7V. You feel as if you've wasted a lot of effort and 48 hours if 
you hear someone cheating but nothing seems to be being done about it. Well 
done K3EST, K1AR and team !
