Sorry you didn't like WinTest Chris - I think it's the best CW contesting 
software to come along for a long time. Maybe I'm not understanding ESM 
correctly but I can't see any advantages in it at all. Not sure why your WT 
would have wrong speeds, I think they are fairly accurate (direct LPT 
keying, not via WinKey) ?

All down to how we operate CW individually of course. We've given up on 
Writelog and I don't like N1MM - most un-user-friendly software ever ! 
WinTest looks a bit like good ole CT but is 200% more sophisticated. 
Networking is rock-solid and it handles serial number sending better than 
most of the other contest logging software.

Please work GD6IA in CQ WW CW next weekend - using WinTest of course !
