Yes, if/when this function is implemented in WriteLog.  But, not everyone
uses F1/F11 for CQ.  I use F2, for example.  I'd prefer the logger not force
a specific Fn key to be CQ.

Net ON is an issue for me because I don't want my Run frequency moving
around +/- 60 Hz.  OTOH, if one zero-beats the desired station, it won't
matter.
