[WriteLog] Pre-Filling Exchanges?

[Gary Ferdinand W2CS]

I agree with Dan. This capability is a necessity to be competitive.  I must
be missing something too.  Hope so.  It is not cheating to be informed about
the stations you work - just another way of improving efficiency, like
filling in 599, etc.

Things like this have been in DOS-based loggers such as CT and TR and NA for
years.  Ops coming off those programs onto WL dearly would like not to take
a hit in operational productivity.

Wayne, any chance of having a release that targets those ops converting to
WL from one of the DOS loggers?  Might be new business oppty there!
