[Elecraft] K4 on Digital Modes

[Bill Frantz]

RUMlogNG, a Mac logging program will allow a kind of 
conversional mode in its contest form. You can click to send and 
type whatever you want. It does handle macros nicely, which is 
needed for contesting. I suspect it breaks down long messages 
into shorter commands.

I use if frequently for CW and RTTY contesting, and it works 
well. I rarely use the conversational mode in contesting, and 
manually switching between transmit and receive is a pain.
