	Klog is a field day logging package which should make keeping track
   of contacts on field day a little easier.  There are 3 main boxes on the 
   Klog screen and understanding these is the key to how klog works.

1. Dupe list : As you enter a callsign, any matching dupes that have already
   been confirmed will appear in this window.

2. Hold list : if you only get a partial call or can't get through the pileup
   you can send the info to the holding window by pressing the / key. If you 
   hear the station again you can double click the entry in the hold box and
   it will move to the current entry area.

3. Contact list : List of confirmed contacts (used for dupe checking).


   	To remove a contact from any list, click once on the contact and use the
   appropraite remove selection from the menus.


NOTES:

   Klog is a visual basic 6 application, and runs under windows 95 or later
I have tested it on a 486 sx 25 laptop w/4meg ram (which I use for field day) and
seems to be OK. tested on pentiun 233MMX and pentium III 500 ok too.
   We used it last year (1999)  and had no major issues with the program.

   Klog makes a text based log file on disk as you run which is compatible 
with *other* logging programs for easy import/export.

Maximum of 5000 contacts currently.

   Band plans are laid out for CANADA,  I can make an American version if
someone sends me the info on the bands. This information is displayed for reference
only and has no effect on the actual working of the program.


   
   Other menu items and features are pretty much self explanitory.

   ***** This is a little program I threw together in my spare time.... 
	 far from perfection - I know of a few (minor) bugs already, please take
	 a minute to email me and let me know what bug you have found, and
	 when I have a chance I will tweak the program and make the latest
	 version available.
	
   ***** TEST THOUROUGHLY BEFORE USING FOR FIELD DAY, MAKE SURE YOU
	 ARE COMFORTABLE WITH HOW KLOG HANDLES YOUR INFORMATION!
	 SO YOU CAN AVOID AN OOPS! BEFORE YOU START.

   ***** MAKE A BACKUP OF THE LOG FILE PERIODICALLY!
