[WriteLog] Sweepstakes! WL Setup Hints

[W3YY]

Good suggestion, but one might want to change the order of steps 2 and 3,
just to make sure the original log is not accidentally erased.

When using a previous document or log as a template for new work, I prefer
editing the new copy, not the original.

worked hard on to perfect. In Setup|CW/SSB/RTTY Messages, open the dialog
box and click on 'browse.' Find last year's contest log file and click on it
and presto chango, your messages come into the current SS contest.

just right too. This year, use one of WriteLog's new features and import the
window positions. Go to 'Contest' (I think, I'm in an airport right now!),
select 'Recover Window Layout' and select last years contest. Presto chango,
your windows are all in place.

There's a faster way.

1.  Start last year's contest by double-clicking the .wl file.

2.  Delete all the QSOs (click on one, then Ctrl-A, then right-click
and select Delete QSO)

3.  Click File, Save As, and give it a different name.

Takes longer to tell than to do.
