Vol 234, Issue 7 DR does have a place where you can say "Log anyway" or
something like that.I didn't get to play in the IDC so my memory is fuzzy... I
think it's in aright click someplace.I did my playing with the auto mode in
daily operation just to see how itworked - which is pretty well but it had its
quirks and at the end of theproverbial day you get a higher score if you pick
the station to work.Someday soon I hope to have time to dive into the DR code
and make some ofthese little mods, and maybe remove the auto mode so it is
cleaner forcontesting.Thanks and 73 - jeff wk6iOn Tue, Jun 7, 2022 at 12:04 PM
