YEp we're still active out there, just like fidonet.  I've
done a lot of ham radio logging application stuff in batch
with some of the enhancements discovered here and other
places.

weird thing about it is nobody writes sw for the public
service operators, net control stations, etc.  IF you're
into the pursuit of awards and contests there's tons of
station logging and recordkeeping sw out there for all sorts of operating
systems.  My systems will run on throwaway
computers, either laptop or desktop .
