[PaQSO] 2008 Logging Software for Multi's

[Al Zelna]

Ron,

   It's my opinion you should choose WriteLog.  A pleasant and  
individually customizable front-end and flawless TCP/IP networking.   
We also proved it works with a combination of XP and Vista computers.

   It never missed a beat with our N3XLS effort last year, logging  
over 1700 Q's and 10min rates in excess of 160 Q/hr.  It also handled  
a (networked) 4A effort for K3CSG during FD with over 2000 Q's and  
10min rates over 250 Q/hr.

   Al Zelna, N3KAE
