Winlink Operator Supplemental Information
If NOT doing UltraLive, then data entered is formatted as TAB delineated text in the sent message, for spreadsheet entry or a running log.
>>> The Subject line will be formatted for you.
The LOAD and SAVE data buttons are for capturing entered race data. This allows you to start a form, close it if needed, then reopen the form and continue on.
Suggest you use and learn the form and its features fully before an event.
