[WriteLog] Contest Exchange Setup for NCCC NS

 From the WL Help file:

===
The fields of the contest exchange may be changed at any time using Contest 
Exchange Setup format setup menu entry. You can either define the exchange 
from scratch (select the "YES" response to the Initialize Format query), or 
add fields to the existing exchange.
===

Unfortunately, this is not totally correct.  Leaving the "Dupe" checkbox 
UN-checked still results in a nasty big red "D" being placed in the log, 
even when "defining the exchange from scratch" ;-(

Is there a hidden trick or "Quick Fix" or MOD to the NA Sprint format that 
will allow multiple QSOs with the same station on the same band?  Several 
people have inquired directly about this.

The ideal WL operation for the NCCC NS would be to ONLY check to make sure 
there has been at least one "Intervening" QSO with another station 
(regardless of which band).  Then, "NIQ" (Need Intervening QSO) could be 
substituted for some type of "QSO B4" in a CW message slot.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  If no one knows how to solve the 
current problem, please add this issue to the WL "Wish List", 'cuz the NCCC 
NS mini-contests are becoming more and more popular.  Last week several 
more WL users showed up.  TNX!!!

Until resolved, WL users will have to manually hand-count everything and 
watch the QSO info lines like a Hawk during the NS ;-(

Tnx & 73...
