Subject: [Fists] New FISTS Log Converter 3.4.8 supports 2m in new Listen for
	Learners activity (FISTS CW Club Europe)
Message-ID: <003501d3b663$93f96910$bbec3b30$@gmail.com>

The latest version, 3.4.8, of the free FISTS Log Converter program
http://fists.co.uk/flc for Windows is now available.

This version adds support for 2m in the new Listen for Learners activity
http://fists.co.uk/lfl (FISTS CW Club Europe).  Note that this works
retrospectively; qualifying 2m QSOs starting from 01 March will be included
when sending a log in at the start of April.  It also includes fixes for
several issues.

FISTS Log Converter can be used in conjunction with almost all amateur radio
logbook programs -or- for anyone not currently using one, it includes its
own optional, easy-to-use logbook.

The program is available from the download web page http://fists.co.uk/flc .
Many thanks to the testers: Alex PA1FOX, Michael G0POT, Peter G4LHI, and
Richard G0ILN.
