Survey to the group.  What is the best way for SSB and CW contesting with
Writelog using 2 computers.  That's the catch.  All of the devices are great
if you're using 1 computer, it'll switch the focus of the audio, it'll
switch the microphone input, it'll switch the cw output, etc.  But what if
you're running 2 computers?

Who's running 2 computers?  What are you doing for SSB mic input and
switching?  1 mic, 2 radios.  What are you using for CW input?  The rig is a
FT-1000d, so the built-in keyer controls both CW inputs, so if I use
computer keying, I have to have an external keyer.  Can I use 1 paddle, 1
external keyer and a Y cable between the two rigs and just control the TX
with the VOX?  Obviously both rigs will be keyed, but only the VOX radio
will tx.  Im not as concerned about RX audio, that can be controled with a
mixing board. 

Just a few questions to the group.

Thanks
