Only due to two accidents - the large number of European teams and that
WRTC does not include any RTTY component.  When one looks at teams from
the Americas, N1MM Logger was the more popular logger.  When one looks
at the top performers in digital mode contests the results show a much
higher percentage of N1MM logger and WriteLog users.

Win-Test has its pace if one is stuck on a user interface from the last
century and is only concerned for CW (not that either is necessarily
bad).

73,
