Much as I hate to say it, I would like to have the _option_ of 
displaying the Notes field in the packet spots window. That would 
solve the problem of those like the idiot who posted D88S and when I 
didn't find anything and went to the full window to check, he had put 
"this is a test" in the Notes field. There were other items similar 
to this during the weekend.

People like that ought to be shot.

Having the Notes field would also be helpful in contests like the 10 
meter contest where you have states and provinces as multipliers. 
WriteLog doesn't know, and so doesn't mark the spot as a new 
multiplier when there is a US call. You find out when you enter the 
exchange. Many of the packet spots on US stations included the state 
information in the Notes field, which would have been helpful when I 
was chasing multipliers and was looking for certain states.

Other than that, the program played just fine in the 10 Meter 
Contest, and the Cabrillo file created OK (along with the CSV export 
for moving the log to my normal logging program).
