[WriteLog] Error in mexrtty.ini file

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Thanks Bill...  I've made the changes and ready to go for tomorrow...

This brought up an interesting question to me.   I noticed the mexrtty.ini file does
not have an Alias section, so I created one below the list of states under [MexicoRTTY].

I named it [MexicoRTTY-Alias] and put one entry under it:

MC=MIC

I then opened WL and it shows a new mult for either MC or MIC when entered into the
Entry Window.  Then I logged a station using the MC abbreviation and it showed as
having worked the MIC multiplier in the Show Multipliers window so it must have worked!

So if you do this and an XE stations send either MC or MIC, it log as the same state.

Damn, I love this program!

73, Don AA5AU
