[WriteLog] Thank goodness for ADIF

[k0bx@qsl.net]

When I setup Writelog for the CQWWCW contest Friday, I must of move the cursor down one as instead of getting the CQWW log, I got the CQWWWPX instead.  Of course I did not realize it until about 50 qso's into the contest.  I was wondering why the CQ Zones did not fill in automatically.   Then I saw that the field was for the PFX and not zone.

So I exported the file in ADIF format, started a new log with the correct CQWW contest and did an import.   Just like that, all the qso's were there, except no zones.  I hand entered the zones off the old log, then saved and exit.  When I opened it, all the scoring was then up to date and away I went.

I don't know if this would have been possible with the old TSQ format.

Anyway, it saved the day.  No problems with Writelog except for the bandmap overflow.
