         This idea of FT8 and RTTY Roundup got my interest. I just might get

         in it this year.  My main rig FT1k Mark5 will not do FT8.  My 
second

         rig  TS870 and computer will operate FT8 just fine.  they both have

         Writelog on them.  Maybe I could do a merge from second 
radio/computer

         to main computer ?  Then again maybe Writelog will give us a 
real update

         including FT8 support.
