[PaQSO] Ontario to become 4 RAC mults.

Amen! There's plenty of FB logging software out there  Some of it is free, so the only thing holding you back is you!

I stopped using CT years ago. It was great for its day, but its day is no longer. We need to "advance the art" and that includes our software. I now use N1MM, which is very easily adapted to handle changes like the ON sections. All other modern loggers can too.
