[WriteLog] Fw: NAQP RTTY contest exchange prefill file

I've had a request this morning to add a new club call to the NAQP prefill 
file that I released yesterday.  I have now added the following call 
information:

NC0DX    KEN    CO

If you would like to add this new call to your prefill file you have two 
options.

1. Use the link from yesterday at the bottom of this email and download the 
file again.  The link is still valid and the file will now contain the new 
information.  If you download it to the same location as before Windows will 
add a (1) to the file name to differentiate it from the earlier file. 
Simply delete the first file and then rename the new one to remove the (1) 
part of the file name.
2. Use a text editor such as Notepad or EditPad to add the new line to the 
file yourself.  Find where the NC calls that are 5 characters long are 
located in the file, insert a new blank line then copy and paste an existing 
call in the file to the blank line.  Then edit that call so it becomes NC0DX 
and do like wise for the name and QTH fields.  Save the file and you are 
good to go.

Subject: NAQP RTTY contest exchange prefill file

Next Saturday will see the NAQP RTTY contest kick off for its 12 hour
operation.  For those interested in a exchange prefill file the link below
will allow you to download my latest update.  The prefill adi file now
contains 5,573 unique calls from participants in all three NAQP contests -
CW, SSB and RTTY.

I have chosen to include all three NAQP contest modes in a single file as it
greatly simplifies maintaining one all inclusive file rather than three
separate mode specific files.  If you operate in more than one mode in the
NAQP contests, you are only in the file one time with the information you
used in the last contest regardless of mode.  For those who change names
used in the contest and/or QTH locations your info may not be current for
this contest.  There is no way I can anticipate what name or location will
be used in this contest for over 5,000 different operators!  Consequently,
as I always caution, check what the prefill file loads into WriteLog and
verify the exchange information before logging the QSO.  If there is a
discrepancy the deciding vote is what you copy over the air.
