tom:
This logging software you refer to, does it have a decent contesting side to
it?
I ask because the contesting sites near my QTH all use contesting software
with multiple radios operating on the same band at the same time, so the
individual operator position computers talk back and forth and will let you
know if you are making a dupe that another operator at the same contesting
station has already worked.
I think the software they use is unaccessible, though i forget now the name
of it.
Does this software you were taking about have the ability to share
information with other machines on a network and pass info back and forth
about contacts, and how about getting info such as frequency, mode and time
from the rig and internal clock for each contact?
