I've spent a couple of hours messing around, and made 59 qsos in the BARTG =
contest with Writelog, MMTTY, my ProII @100w and a G5RV laying on my roof. =
 Not bad.

So far, everything seems to work fine, except that I think my Rigblaster ha=
s failed since my afsk tones do not pass through it.  I'm not sure why.  I =
think the PTT may not be pulling in.  How am I supposed to configure for th=
e PTT on the serial port for the rigblaster?  My LPT port PTT is working th=
ough - go figure.

I may toss the Rigblaster and just make my own to clear up this mystery.

I have one complaint, and one bug report.

The complaint is regarding the scrolling of the rttyrite screen.  How do I =
make it stop doing what ever it does where when it fills up the screen, it =
goes back up to the top.  I don't know where to look.  New text should alwa=
ys appear at the bottom, and then the old text should just scroll up.

The bug report is that I tried to do a timed CQ, and Writelog/MMTTY went nu=
ts.  It started sending my CQ message over and over.  I stopped it, and aft=
er that, the memories would not send their contents properly.  I shut all t=
he programs, rebooted the computer, and have not tried a timed CQ again.

RTTY's cool.
