One of the nice things about WriteLog is the ability to "Browse" for 
CW/SSB/RTTY message setup configurations to simply import and quickly 
modify portions (if needed) when you setup a new contest.

I'm repeating my past request for an enhancement to the WL SKED Feature, 
because it would save everyone a tremendous amount of time.

Do you realize how many keystrokes and mouse clicks are currently needed to 
enter just one "SKED" in WL???   If you've got 20 entries...Ugh!

Unless you're SO2R, have you ever forgotten to periodically check other 
bands for possible openings?  I think we also need one more "INFO" field 
for whatever unique stuff we need to include.  Some of you may also need a 
SKED reminder to put the dog out to go to the bathroom before the carpet 
gets soiled :-)

Picture being able to simply type all the following (generic duplicated 
examples) and copy/paste dates into ONE .tab text type file and have WL 
automatically grab the data vs. the current time consuming one-by-one 
procedure to setup one SKED.  You could also use Excel and export as a tab 
delimited file.

somedate sometime frequency/band callsign/item infoyouneedtoadd

An ASCII .csv file could also work.  It's all about saving keystrokes and 
efficiency of data input.

FYI & 73...
