[ADXA] (no subject)

[Nick Kennedy]

I’m giving it a shot. It definitely gave me a bit of that “early contest”
nervousness.

I’m a slow learner, so I hit a couple of snags.  First, I didn’t set up a
new contest and it wouldn’t show me the “start Morserunner” button.  Found
out you have to be in CQ WW or WPX.

Next, when I’d hit F1 to respond to a caller, it would say 599 4 without
sending the other guy’s call. I thought I’d turn on ESM (Enter Sends
Message) and that did work. I guess it’s a requirement.

Dennis - I’m glad to hear you made it to an ARVARF meeting.  That’s a step
in the right direction.
