[PaQSO] Another question

[Steve Forst]

As a blind operator, I have to admit I don't find the summary sheet such 
a big deal.   The first time I needed to do it without sighted help 
(2010), our friend  Glen K3PP was kind enough to help me out.   After 
that I learned  that the  summary sheet generated by Writelog was 
acceptable.   It does need a little tweaking in notepad in conjunction 
with my screen reading software, and takes a whole 10 minutes out of my 
life.

I did find the web based submission for the South Carolina QP pretty 
slick this year.   On the other hand, the one for Ohio was  a bit more 
problematic for me.

Whatever you decide, someone will be unhappy, but however it goes,  I 
plan to be plugging away next October.

Thanks for doing a thankless job.
