[WriteLog] What Have I missed

[WA9ALS - John]

You guys need to be a little more patient!  Over the past several years,
there have been relatively few RTTY contest score posts!  Most are
posted to the WF1B RTTY reflector and/or the 3830 reflector, as they
should be.

There -has- been a lot of RTTY talk on this reflector, but I think that
just reflects the additional issues involved with RTTY and CW compared
with SSB.  COM ports, keying, FSK via COM port 2+ radio issues, tuning,
AutoFC, etc.  I don't think you see that much discussion about SSB
because there aren't as many issues with that functionality - it works
great and is more straightforward.

Writelog has some awesome capabilities that take some time to learn,
discover, and appreciate.  Stick around...the water's fine!  73
