Hi Everyone,
Some time ago, I made up this document and profile for Netlogger. Since then, we have moved the site that hosts the file to this site. Because of that, new instructions have been created to help with the transition to the new site and also to help new users of this profile get it installed on their computer. The procedure is a simple one but please read the instructions carefully as it is critical that the spelling and the path names be exact for this to work.
Download copies of these instructions as a Word Document or PDF File here.
Thanks to Matt Lacy we now have a new home for our Netlogger club profile file. I will attempt to give step by step instructions for creating the club profile file and downloading the new one.
While every attempt was made to make this document accurate, something could have been missed. Please notify if you find any errors. Thanks to Pete – KC2WI and Matt – NQ2U for helping to test the accuracy of these instructions and get this file hosted in it's new location.

2.) From the menu on top select "Setup" and then "Club Profile..." The "Club Profile Setup" window should now be visible on your screen.
