[Elecraft] K3 & LOGGING SOFTWARE

[David Wilburn]

Use N3FJP ACLOG without issue.  In the past I used some of his 
individual contesting software.  Now I use N1MM and sometimes MMTTY. 
Only have an issue with MMTTY, that is more likely me needing to know 
where to change a setting.  All else has worked fine.
