[linrad] Re: Got Them EME Window / call3.txt Blues Again

[Joe Taylor <Princeton.EDU; joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger --

My guess is that you may simply need to change the call3.txt 
file from DOS format to *nix format, i.e.,

C:> dos2unix call3.txt

You can do the conversion in Linux, if your Windows 
installation does not have the "dos2unix" utility.

This is only a guess ...

See you at MUD (Microwave Update) tomorrow!
