[Elecraft] Re CW Skimmer with Windows 7

[Steve Ellington]

OmniRig is a program for sharing the radio with more than one program such 
as CWskimmer and a logging program. Only a few logging programs have the 
capability however. I use LP-Bridge to share CWskimmer, Logger32 and 
Powersdr.
The skimmer guy, Alex, has other programs that work with OmniRig.
