USE <ALT-L> to search backward in the log, when youre in a 100+ QSO an hour
rate then rather than
break your stride do an <ALT-N> make a note to check it after the contest and
moooove on! If I'm
screaming along at high rate i do this even if the call is in the last 5 q's i
find it less
disruptive than trying to get the cursor on exactly the right point inthe QSO
above and possibly
screwing up the whole log/line.

Agin <ALT-L> will get you there, Do an <ALT-H> for a list of commands.

This contest was unusual in my experience in the the number of K6 or W6, but
in any case I find
its almost as easy to enter the call and hit the space bar as to look at the
call partial window.

This has merit (especially if Tree doesnt decide to fix the missing floppy /
backuplog crash).

Not unless the guys a LogWindows decide to support TRLog. I use DXBase and Dean
gratiously has
written a conversion routine for TRLog to DXBase 4.5. Before that I used to do
the same thing you
do..Text file -> Excell -> Database log file. If you are halfway effecient at
Visual BAsic then
writing the conversion routine for Excell to Database need be a one time task.
