[WriteLog] Spots newbie needs help using AR User with WL

[Jim Smith <jimsmith@shaw.ca>]

My goals for this week were to learn how to get spots into WL and how to 
use AR User as a front end for spot filtering.

So far, I seem to have ARU talking to WL and spots are showing up in the 
WL Packet Spots window and double clicking on a spot in the window does 
what one would expect.  Setting ARU to pass or reject various bands does 
filter the spots which show up in WL.  Presumably, then, all the other 
filtering options in ARU should also work.

I'm using WL 10.27G

Here's where I need help.  I don't really want to see spots from, e.g., 
ZC4 spotting YK as if he can hear YK I probably can't, so I set ARU to 
show only spots originating in NA.  While this is better, I don't really 
want to see spots from W8 spotting EU as I probably won't hear the EU.  
However, I do want to see spots from W8 spotting SA.  I have set ARU to 
show the country and State/Prov from which the spot originates.  I can 
use this info to decide whether or not to bother with the spot, 
depending on band conditions, time of day, etc.  However, the WL packet 
window seems to show only the spotted call and frequency with no info on 
where the spot originated.  Is this how it is with WL or have I missed 
something which would allow the WL Packet Spots window to show the nice 
spot origination info provided by ARU? 

TIA for your help es 73 de Jim Smith   VE7FO
