[WriteLog] Need CW Interface Windows XP COMENTS

Tue Aug 29 17:47:14 EDT 2006

Thanks to everyone that replied.
May be it's me but I just don't understand.
I did contesting logging in CW, SSB and RTTY with full internet and rig 
control with an old 486-66mhz computer. Now to do the samething I need a 
500Mhz to 1.6G computer and a 200ドル plus interface.
And I'm still not sure if it will work.
