We are using the computer Connor brought for SCR; I don't know the passwords to anything else. As for software, we downloaded N1MM, and SCR-Log. I like N3FJP, but it isn't free. I will go up to the station before the contest and find software.
I operated for a few hours last year in CQWW, and I got about 40 DXCC's with a dipole at 25 feet. I'm sure we will be able to rack up QSOs with the SteppIR.
We will be operating as W5TC.
