[Pat Rundall]

K6EP's post, from the archive, describes why he modifies
the NA CW Sprint module rather than the "Internet Sprint."

Worth a read. I think I'll go with Eric's (K6EP) approach.

>> Here is how I'm setting up WriteLog to handle today's
>> NCJ North American RTTY Sprint:
>>
>> Start a new log for "North American Sprint" - CW.
>> Go to "Bands/Setup_Bands" and click on "Clear All 
>> Bands" to delete the CW bands then add 3 FSK bands:
>>
>> Low_Edge High_Edge Mode Title
>> 3500     4000      FSK   80M   Click on "Add this band"
>> 7000     7300      FSK   40M      "
>> 14000    14350     FSK   20M      "
>>
>> then click "Cancel" and "OK"
>>
