[WriteLog] K9JY website : An appreciation.

[Barry Kirkwood]

I must set the record straight about WL documentation.
When I started trying to use WL some three years back I printed off from Scot's site, put them in a binder plus other wL stuff and tried to use them as a manual ever since.
In the meantime Scot has reorganised the WL information and the WL Lite section in particular looks vey good indeed and very helpful to the new user.
Thanks, Scot.
There is no doubt in my mind that WL does an excellent job and is highly functional if running correctly.
I do, however, stand by my contention that it very unforgiving of operator error in the set up phase and it may be very difficult to detect or correct such errors which may lie as sleepers until there is some change of condition. Thus the thing can be given a practice run with all appearing to be well, but will go down during the contest. In my experience such errors are  unrecoverable, and one has to withdraw from the contest.
