I have never tried to do it, but have always assumed I could set up any 
logging format I wanted in the "Custom" mode. Realtime scoring and the 
usual after-contest reports would not work, but the log should be otherwise 
usable - right?

Comments on the custom setup? - anyone used the custom setup for anything?
