Eric, et al.,

There a program called RoverLog out by N1MU.  It's freeware, and I got 
plenty over experience with it at the W2FU 11 band multiop last 
Septemeber.  No, it's not just for rovers!  We had five stations 
networked and it worked pretty well, and we're doing it again this 
weekend.  It's written in TickleTK, but if you run it on a windows 
platform you can just get the self-installing exe and you'll never have 
to worry about it.  You can run it under other platforms (Mac/Linux) if 
you install TickleTK.  One word of advice from a voice in the club was 
"make sure your computer clock is on!"  Apparently it's a pain to try to 
edit times and dates later.  Check it out at http://roverlog.2ub.org/ if 
you are interested.

I hope you folks out there are as excited as we are over on this side of 
the lake.  With any luck we'll be able to work eachother.  I'm still 
looking for any skeds in the little hours of the morning, esp WSJT or 6m 
SSB/CW if anyone is interested.  I don't want to sleep!
