[WriteLog] Minnesota QSO Party

[Les, VA7LC]

Hi Don,  Yes I'm a little disappointed with WriteLog in this area. I was going  to do the
contest because I saw that WriteLog supported it, however Minnesota have changed the rules
a little and I guess WriteLog hasn't kept up. As I'm a cw man I figure I will use the
logger provided on the Minnesota site. I'm also posting this on the reflector as info. I
can tell you that Steve Woodruff is developing some modules for State QSO Parties. Right
now he is working on the Wisconsin one and then the Illinois. His home page is

Les, VA7LC
