[Ham-Mac] RE: LOTW

Ham-Mac List: FYI..... I think the list might be interested in a
response that I received this morning relating to the Mac
software question that I raised last week.  Both  Rosalie White
- K1STO and Jon Bloom - KE3Z had a response in my email box
before I started teaching my first classes today!   Hopefully
folks more experienced than I will be able to help here.   It
seems to me that the door is open..... can someone step through
when the time is right?  Thanks and 73..... Jim - wa2eiu

Jim,

The source code for the software will be made available soon,
and my hope is that some Mac developer will step forward to do a
port to the Mac. It should be relatively easy for someone who is
equipped and experienced in Mac development, which I am not.

Of course, since that will depend on someone volunteering, I
can't guarantee anything.

73, Jon
