[WriteLog] Start sending now?

[WA9ALS - John]

1.  S&P:  I hit F4 to send %D and my callsign twice.  The CQing station
calls me with the exchange.  I hit F5 which send my TU and exchange.  Then
when I see him QSL I hit RETURN which -only- logs the QSO.

Since F4 and F5 are next to each other, but separated by a little extra
space on most keyboards, it's easy to find the appropriate keys in a hurry.

2.  RUN:  A station answers my CQ.  I hit the "+" key on the keypad to send
his exchange.  He sends his exchange to me.  I hit ENTER to send TU
QRZ -and- log the QSO.

It seems to me that it couldn't get much easier?  73
