It should be noted that there are probably some limits to the built in WL ability to do mass changes to the DATE field data, particularly the time fields. As John K8AJS indicates below, you can readily change the hour of clock time for a given segment of records in the log. However, I would be very careful in applying group changes to the minutes field. I suspect that you could easily end up with all the minute times of a given highlighted range being changed so that a large number of records all have the same minute time stamp! This is less than desirable! Prior to undertaking such a change be sure to make a backup copy of your .wl file so that if things run amok you can revert back to where you started from with minimal problems.

It is definitely possible to change all of the dates inside Writelog
(don't ask me how I know this).  I am not sure if you can change the times
as a group selection. It is best to make a copy of your log before
attempting any alterations.

It’s absolutely possible to change the times in a group of QSOs inside Writelog very easily, using the method described by Gary. I had to do this on a number of QSOs in CQ WW RTTY, adjusting an entire group by one hour, due to a foul-up in my Windows clock.
