[WriteLog] Recording question

[Barry]

Gil,
After recording, if you right-click on any callsign in the log, it brings 
up a submenu including "play audio snippet." It will play the 
individual QSO. I recorded last year's CQWW CW. I found it helpful 
after getting my UBN file back. I went to listen to the QSOs of my 
busted calls. I learned from that (and part of what I learned is that 
log checking isn't perfect).
