[Elecraft] K2 and Linux contest logging

[Mike Markowski]

Neil,

I'm far from a hard core contester but enjoy DXCC, Field Day, etc.  For 
me the best solution has been xlog along with hamlib & cwdaemon.  I made 
a small NPN transistor-based circuit in an Altoids tin to do serial port 
based PTT keying for cwdaemon.  (I picked up an Edgeport  usb-to-serial 
converter on ebay for $20.)  It's a simple set up and works well for my 
level of contesting.

It also has the advantage of keying any rig.  I use it with my K1, 
though of course hamlib can't interact with that rig.

Good luck and 73,
Mike ab3ap
