[Gary AL9A]

Glad to hear your father is doing better.  I'm missing that AA5 prefix in my 
log! :)

I didn't see this mentioned, but if you hold the SHIFT key and click on the 
first letter in the group, it will put the correct serial number in the 
proper field.

For example, if you receive a report that prints:

TOO RTT RTT

Then hold the SHIFT key and click on the first R in either set of "RTT" and 
the number 455 will be automatically placed in the Entry Window. You will 
learn that "TOO" is "599", so don't worry about that one because RST is 
prefilled in the Entry Window. The group you are concerned about is the next 
group after "TOO".

It's very strange not to be pounding the keyboard this weekend. This is the 
first WPX RTTY Contest I've missed since it started 18 years ago. I'm in 
Indianapolis, visiting my father, George, WB9FAD, who at age 86 was admitted 
to the hospital on Monday. I'm happy to say he is stable and I will be 
flying back to New Orleans tomorrow. I won't make it back in time to make 
any contacts. But that's OK. I guess ya'll will just have to have fun 
without me!
