[WriteLog] CQP..WL anomalies

I had two problems, one of which might not be a WL issue, the other
certainly is.


1. Several stations sent county codes greater than 4 letters, which then
spilled over from cty1 to cty2. An example was PLACER. I have no idea what
this represents, since I have no access to accepted county codes. Someone
else sent PLAC, which I assume is correct, and is one and the same thing? I
assume that the rules do state a four letter code to be sent, and WL
reflects this?


2. More seriously, and in need of a fix I think, was that when a 4 digit
serial number was sent, the cursor jumped automatically to the county field,
by which time my reflex action had already "spaced" to that field, then
ending up in cty2 field, which required manual editing which was tedious. I
did get the hang of this, but don't think the cursor should really jump like
that ( Wayne?).

Nice opening on 21Mhz around 17z +/-. Signals varied from S9+ to barely
readable. Are there really W6s running 100w watts and G5RVs!!
