Mike,
I handle this situation by not using WL QSL labels. Instead I export the
contest log as an adi file and then import those QSO's into my general
logger, in my case DXBase. Then from the general logger I manage the QSL
card info, print labels, track DXCC, WAS, WAZ, etc. This method gets all
the QSO's from various contests, bands and modes into a common data base
where they are much easier to work with.
73,
