(At least two other English language radio hierarchies exist, prefixed
with "uk" (United Kingdom), and "aus" (Australia), in place of "rec.")
Again, cross-posting should rarely be necessary. Many times, a long-
running thread results from a single cross-posted article, and its
content drifts further and further away from being "on-topic" in the
various NGs which receive each and every followup.

Jay, Rob:
This is the exact reason we provide Pacterm '98 with operability with
LogWindows 3.x and DX4Win 4.06. It allows dual port operation with those
logging programs. You can sync either the VHF or HF Window (most sync the
DX Cluster VHF connection), and then use the HF window to do the QSO.
We've also given interface information to Logic 5 and DxBase 2000, but they
have yet to impliment it.

Hi Mike,
I would like to add the following comment to all those who use KAM's for
RTTY contests -- DON'T.
The KAM is a really poor modem on RTTY. It is much better to use RITTY
software program with your soundcard for RTTY and WF1B contest Log. RITTY
will copy RTTY signals that no other modem will copy. (But note RITTY and
WF1B are both DOS programs)
I believe you can still obtain RITTY directly from K6STI.
