[WT-support] CQ-160m question

[mike at sm3wmv.com]

Hello

OK, thanks for the info. I will try to get that working and load some own
logs into that as well.

And I believe it would help. As long as the operators don't trust it
blindly, you will not miss any spots that might be a new mult combined
with the old way of checking each station. There is less risk of missing
some station that has not been worked.
