[WriteLog] Curious??

[bob.wruble@verizon.net]

FWIW I use TR for ALL logging....contest and general.   i then occasionally
down load the tr general.dat file and all my contest logs to dx4win to
handle all the qso and award tracking chores the dx4win handles so
eloquently.   it takes abt 2 mins to dwnload a TR .dat file to dx4win.   it
of course does the same for wl logs if thats ur sw of choice...... de w7gg
