[Cwo] We got a WriteLog commitment from K0PC!!!

Wed May 18 09:41:18 PDT 2011

OK,  I'll back off.  Sometimes I get a bit zealous.

Yes, testing is a good thing.   Last night I downloaded SD logger and tried
it out. It's a bit cryptic, but useable.  I logged a dozen fake QSOs .. some
with obvious errors like missing name or NR. Then I generated a Cabrillo
file and looked at it. It did not match the guide we have in the rules
(FAQ).  I mailed the author, and copied his reply to the group. I'm
confident SD will work.

If you don't know about SD, I'm not surprised. In CQP we get about a dozen
SD logs. I would expect more in CWO since CWO should have a bigger following
than CQP in EU.

Does anyone use GenLog?   Need to test that one too as they said they now
support CWO.
