[WT-support] Postcontest Mode?

[Winfried Kriegl]

Hi,

as an alternative to post-contest-logging with Win-Test I suggest to use 
  "LM4" by DL8WAA ( http://www.lm4.de/e/home.htm ) or "Fast Log Entry" 
by DF3CB ( http://df3cb.com/fle.html ). Convert the logs to Cabrillo and 
import to Win-Test for score calculation.
