[Elecraft] Antenna comparisons, WSPRnet and timed serial port macros

[Ray Cadmus]

Here is a link that may answer part of the question:

http://batchloaf.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/simple-trick-for-sending-characters-to-a-serial-port-in-windows/

His simple method of doing "echo hello <or your command string> to 
com1"  would probably work.  You could then make that a batch file to be 
run periodically.  While I am not currently a Windows user I seem to 
recall an "ON" command that can schedule things.

Hope this helps.
