[PaQSO] Log As You Wish

[Ron Notarius]

To avoid any confusion in the 2004 'test, I'd strongly suggest that County
Line stations be logged exactly the same as we did last year.  If a change
is warranted (which I do not agree with), it can be implemented with plenty
of notice prior to the 2004 'test.

IMHO.  YMMV.  VWPBL(ST).
