Had a tough competition with Roland DK3GI but I'm still waiting for his score as he QSYed to LU for a few weeks. I realized that I need a second computer for efficient 2-radio operating. The permanent switching of CT's input field is a little confusing during high rates. The 24h format is perfect for Single Operators and I strongly support all rule changes going into this direction. 73, Stefan DL1IAO@contesting.com http://www.dl1iao.com
