[MiQP-Mail] Another K6JSS suggestion

[Hank Greeb]

Dave:

I've responded in detail to the message below as a private message.  I 
feel that your "put down" of casual operators, and similar "not to 
gentle advice" by other "self proclaimed hotshot contesters", is much 
better said privately.   You may be interested to know that a several of 
the K6JSS/COUNty ops are first time with MiQP, and deserve to be 
publicly encouraged, not publicly belittled by high and mighty 
"suggestions."

Operating K6JSS/MECO during MiQP 2011

p.s. I can't verify all the types of software, but N3FJP, N1MM, and 
W3KM's Software will accept K6JSS/8, K6JSS/MECO, or K6JSS/8/MECO as in 
the sent file AND in the received portions of the log.  The cabrillo 
file looks a bit strange on N3FJP, but can be edited with a robot.  
GenLog does fine with any of the forms of K6JSS.  N1MM does fine with 
all forms of K6JSS, on the input and "sent" part of the exchange.  But 
if your logging software regurgitates on any K6JSS log submission, send 
it over tome and I'll convert it to whatever your log check software 
demands  I've never seen a log, even with a couple hundred contacts or 
more, which needs to be "hand corrected" line by line.
