[DogParkList] Mentoring

[ltrranch at vtc.net]

	I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me understand  
what is happening with the new MacLogger program V5.0 for Cocoa. I've  
been following the dialog for the dogparklist. I'm a semi techie who  
would like to learn more about digital communication.
	A little background: I do use and really enjoy using MacLogger in  
SSB contests. I have loaded and used Cocoa modem with a SignalLink  
USB interface with only one PSK contact to date. I use a IC-736  
transceiver with a G5RV antenna and the Blackcat CI-V interface to  
the radio.
	I thought I'd ask just a few questions to begin with:
	1. With using 5.0 do you run Cocoa in the foreground and MacLogger  
in the background for logging?
	2. Is the SignalLink ok or should I switch to the microHam keyer?  
Any pro or cons?
	3. Do I need a CW filter in the transceiver?
	Will start with these questions. Thanks Tom N7KCX
