[WriteLog] WL 10.45 new feature

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

DJ3IW Quoted N0AX in QST saying:

.
".... Not-in-Log (N or NIL) - If your call does not appear in the other
operator's log at the right time, your QSO is invalid."
.

That is correct.

Nonetheless, if your call *does* appear in the other operators log at the r=
ight time, it does not matter if you have other times where you've entered =
the same call, as they will be considered dupes of the one good QSO, and no=
t count against you.
