Hi Gil:
I guess the main advantage of Writelog (in comparison to tape
recordings) is that you can either select the qso from the log you wish
to hear audio from or use the Audio Review software and choose any point
in time from the log to play audio. No need to skim through bunch of
tapes.

Who is ever gong to listen to 24 hours of recorded contest again anyway.
I sure don't see any reason to record a contest. You will never find what
you are looking for anyhow as there is no such thing as audio search.<br>
<br>
I guess I just don't get it?<br>

<dd>You may have to install Windows Media Player 7.1 to get

<dd>Here, I am using 32 kBit/s 11,025 3 Kb/s MPEG-3 format
