[WriteLog] Minnesota QSO Party

[GilBaronW0MN]

You will have to define a new field. you can't change the width.
This is another example of why WriteLog will never be complete until a MUCH
BETTER and GUI method of defining contest becomes part of it. I said it
before and will say it again, I am willing to pay for this. PLEASE do
something soon.
