[Ham-Mac] Contest Logging

hey Raja...

Sounds great!

I've been working on a logging program for a couple months now using=20
CodeWarrior C++. I've been keeping it simple as well, however it's main=20=

feature will be the ability to network multiple copies together to=20
facilitate multi-op contest logging. Of course it can be used=20
stand-alone, but I envision the real power being when 2 or more hams=20
run the program linked together. In that configuration, one copy=20
serving as the master station will log entries from all ops, keeping=20
track of dups and keeping all ops updated on time, score and goal.

I think it's great you're going forward with the design, regardless of=20=

other projects. It'd be great to have options in the Mac Ham arena.
