Tom,

SD cards are the way to go with a PDA. Good idea to have a couple of
them (they don't have to be big - 64 or 32mb work fine if you can find
them!) and put your contest ID and name on them (of course, your
logger file in it also has that info). You may have to leave it with
the scorer if he's swamped, and that makes it easier to get it back
later or the next morning.

That's the only problem I see with the new EW logger - you either
leave the whole logger in the box with the rest of the SD cards and
floppies, or you drag along you notebook and download it and transfer
to another format.

Ideally, a logger should transfer it's files directly to a USB
thumbdrive or SD card (directly or via reader connected via USB
port). Lot cheaper to misplace than a logger! Doesn't the latest
Colibri do that?

Thanks Mark, John, and Kirk.
